Was not going to post this after seeing Greg's excellent effort but I suppose that it at least this shows what a 10" GSO RC scope can do from the suburbs.
Used 10x900 sec L(1x1) combined with 10x300 min each RGB sub ( binned 2x2) and processed in PS3. Had a real devil of a time with the colour but I think its almost correct.
Anyway comments welcomed.

That's very very nice Allan. Good colours and detail.

Greg.

Lots of tiny detail there Allan. Colour looks good to me.

Still looks damn good, Allan. I'm sure you could do better from a dark site but it's a luxury that many of us can't afford on a permanent basis :)

[Rod771]

Yep! That looks good Allan. Well done :thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

Yep, not bad, at all Al :thumbsup: and the colour looks ok to me. It does look a tiny bit soft though Hmm? do you think you nailed the focus or was the seeing having a lend of you (as it does so many of us so often :mad2:)

round stars, background galaxies and colour in the main object - 100000% better than any effort i could muster mister

Thanks very much for the kind comments. I was lucky with this one as it appeared everything went reasonably well and I was able to gather sufficient colour to finish it. I was also pleased to get as much detail in the Luminance image as I did with the 10" GSO RC.
