Really nice Greg! I do love the colour throughout the field, blue star clusters with smatterings of red stars throughout the field.
My only gripe while viewing it on my iPhone (so it may be my phone!) is that some of the red nebulosity is a little over saturated which gives the appearance of losing detail. It may obviously be because my iPhone is not in the slightest bit calibrated
Great highlight and shadow detail, nice star colour variation.
Good one
Cheers Peter.

The nebula is pushed for sure but on my monitor it does not look like its broken down.

Thanks very much Marc. I am looking forward to your CN212 images. That scope always fascinated me.

I see that on my calibrated screen as well. Great image otherwise, Greg
Very nice image Greg. So you have an AP1600 now? Has the PME now been retired?
Steve
Thanks Steve.
No I use the PME for my AP Honders astrograph and the 1600 for the CDK17. At the moment the PME is running the Honders with a 300mm lens setup piggybacked on it. So its a very expensive guidescope!
They are similar in performance with perhaps the AP slightly better. I like the home position with the PME. The latest control box for the AP1600 may have the home position. I am not 100% sure.
Interesting to compare your image with my latest version of this same target.
I like your starfield, there are more of them than I can manage from home under LP and it gives the image a nice pointilism-type feel. You've also got some nice red/cyan colour contrast in the dark dusty centre of NGC 2032
Looks like the 10" newt is holding up pretty well overall

Yes I agree the 10 inch Newt is doing well here.
A dark site allows LRGB and usually better contrast. A dark site unless you are remote also means limited time.
....just waiting on one more package (out of 5) to arrive 
....hmmmm? Maybeeee .. . ?
