Here is another galaxy image I took over the weekend (Friday 26 and Sat the 27th).
Again it'd be nice to do 12 hours on it but I am grateful I managed to get 2 clear nights (and wake up to the start of a shower with the roof open and gear going! - no damage).

I flocked my secondary holder after this image (thanks Trev) so I'm interested to see how that helps. Planewave is making me a new secondary shroud with a baffle in it to reduce light streaks from nearby bright stars (it hasn't been a problem in the last several images but it happens occassionally).
