Thanks for you comments, my avg seeing for this night was 2.5 arc sec. So I do have clear skies. Each time I use my new camera on my 6". I surprise my self on how good the images come out.
Can't wait to start building my observatory with all new gear. I wounder what I could do with a Ha filter if I get good OSC images now.
Brilliant star colour, and smooth nebulosity. Perfect shot.
You must be very keen to get your Observatory established. You have clearly got your workflow down pat to produce this sort of quality. Well done benklerk!
