Lamda Centauri Nebula through 6 inch scope

Hi.
Just finished processing a rough Lamda Centauri Neb. seeing several members have been imaging it of late. Conditions poor with cloud patches and VERY dewy. Increasing cloud made me pack it in after these shots. I used my 6 inch F3.6 Meade Schmidt Newtonian, 4x 5 mins ISO 200 with Baader UHCS filter. Modded 350D camera The 6 inch fits it all in nicely. I note that the coma seems worse on one side than the other, yet it seems in collimation as far as using eyepieces go. Perhaps its offset mirror is the reason.
