Another shot from last night ... shot with the WO66 SD and SBIG ST2000XCM again ... this time 3 x 10 minute exposures @-5 degrees ... had a fair bit of star elongation in this image and an awful lot of stars as well so I decided to use minimum filter to show up the nebulosity ... sorry to all the purists ;)

Sorry but i don't know what it is but i have tried several times looking at this but it does strain my eyes.
Just weird, i never had this with a picture.
Still a good photo :)

Even with your problem stars the image is still pretty good.

Well done Steve.
