You’ve got some great colour there and picked up some good detail.
The thing you’ll find with an obs is it is so much easier getting much longer imaging times per target which in turn brings out much more detail and nebulously.....it’s the obvious next step mate!
Catch up soon

Thanks Imme, yeh pretty surprised to have got the detail actually, even though the transparency was less than desired. I actually took a calculated risk and left the mount setup outside and covered it up with a few towels to ensure the next session of imaging would be simpler and consistent with the initial subs. I’m driven to get my shed built as you say it makes things far more manageable. It’s in the planning stage mate...

Thankyou Tony,
Yes I’ve learnt that taking subs at low ISO 400 or 800 produce good star colour. This however means more subs need to be taken to gain the nebulosity. It’s a trade off I guess- hence another reason to build the obs. Need more time under the stars to build a better image...

Haha, yes Mick, the lure of getting out there never wanes it’s just me finding excuses to stay inside at the end of the day, kids work and the weekly runaround has a crunching effect. My obs will buy me time I hope...

Forever encouraging Atmos, appreciate your comments. The DSLR has been reliable enough to produce decent results thus far. An all rounder and no fuss approach makes it easier. No doubt point taken, Ha filter is next in line with guiding and perhaps CCD imaging. A step I definitely will persue. I’m pleased with the star colours too.
Like your work Atmos,
Cheers
