Nice work. Maybe a tad over-sharpened.

Andy,
That’s a great image from your 450D
Maybe a little bit too saturated and sharpened but great details just the same
Glad to see images shot with a regular newt too
Not to many folk on this forum imaged with regular 6” and 8” solid tube metal newts , refractors , SCT’s , RC’s and RASA seem to be more popular amongst the AP fraternity
Keep them coming
Well done !

Thanks Rene, Martin, Marc, and John.
I agree about the over sharpening and over saturation!! Most of the final editing is done on my phone and I get a bit carried away before I have to shrink it to 200 kb to post here. Thanks for all the comments.

Also my Newtonian is fixed !!!!, Just waiting for a star test to see if the damage is going to affect the optical train.

Cheers
Andy
