Nice capture Rodney.

Colours are a bit "funny" but good detail and I love the closeup composition.

Thanks :), the funny colours are attributed to the fact that I have no imaging filters yet and I used normal observing filters, hence the strange colours.
I just purchased a Canon 600D, and have on order a Automatic 2" filter wheel with a range of 2" imaging filters. Just got my stepper motor etc. for my Moonlight focuser so it will be interesting to see what the Canon can do. Just hope it can zoom in enough to my favourite targets which are faint galaxies. :)
