Nice one, Simon!

Lovely image Simon, but strange background colour, and the blue
nebulosity seems muted.

Yes, I agree with Raymo,

I think the dreaded dew monster may have snuck in at the end, the reddish halos around the bright stars make me think dew was a factor....?

Cheers

Thanks, no I don't think it was dew affecting the image as the halos were around the 2 min shots earlier as well, plus the reflector mirror had no Dew on it in the morning .

I'm more into the subtle treatment so I didn't up the blue neb beyond what I thought was reasonable. Needs heaps more data!

Noce one Simon. Showing some real promise, and your guiding was spot on.

I'd be pretty happy with that result, I've been trying for a long time to get that particular object with limited success so to me, it looks good.
