Thanks guys. I know what you mean Mike. Lot's of mosquitos setting up at dusk but not so many at midnight as M42 cleared the trees.

How do you judge seeing conditions? I'm not sure of how to do it, but I thought last night from Canberra was pretty solid based on guiding and the quick look I had?

Seeing wasn't good for me with M42 as the target because I was aiming low on the horizon looking towards the CBD. My polar alignment was good but my tracking and FWHM were rubbish.

Have you had your ASI2600 long? What do you think of it? So far I'm loving mine.

Greg, this was the ASI2600MC (APS-C) rather than the ASI6200 (full frame).
Attached is the same image but with flats applied and background extraction...
