Thanks Mate

This object is even hard from a dark sky location, let alone from a light polluted site. Well done. The back ground has a lot of blue blotches that would be removed with a desaturate mask. Detail is very good though.

That's amazing for only 4 hours in the burbs! I must try this...

Hi Diego,
that's almost a miracle.
I tried a long time ago for a mag 9 target- NGC300 from Melbourne &
even with an Astronomik 2" CLS-CCD anti-light pollution filter in front of all the 2" filters
I barely got anything and it's a 250mm or 10" f4 scope.
