Thanks Anthony, plenty of colour yes, I think I may have overdone the saturation on these. They looked fine on my laptop but they look a bit rich when viewed on this forum. I may tame them a little and replace them with one's that look more natural.

Yes, I think it's a keeper, pity it's not a bit faster, maximum aperture at 200mm is just f 4.5. I shot these at f 5.6 but f8 would be better. At f 8, a 3min sub would be too much to ask unguided, could shoot at 3200ISO and maintain the exposure time but noise would then be a problem.
