It is pretty tiny, but you have captured it pretty well Scott, guiding seems spot on and the colour is natural looking, well done.

A nice capture Scott, you got some nice detail coming through in the cropped version.

Many thanks everyone. It was a rather hazy and very moist night, good for getting small higher surface brightness things like this

It certainly does look small, but you've captured it well Scott.
