Thanks for that John - polar alignment and tracking that night were pretty good. My first time being able to get 5.0 minute subs.
The round stars were achieved in Nebulosity when I alignmed the light subs using the translation and rotation setting. I also had an Orion x0.83 focal reducer/flattener in the imaging train.
I should have taken some shorter exposure subs for the over bloated central star as at present it dominates an otherwise very pleasing first attempt at this DSO.

PS John I just noticed you're at Kinglake West. This image was taken at a mate's place off the Old Glenburn Rd in Kinglake Central.
