Thanks for your comments. Astro, the Al Nagler article says it all doesnt it. Yes the Saggitarius starfield is another beauty.
I have taken note of all suggested regions & will take a closer look as soon as conditions permit.
Mental, are you happy with the achro? Sounds like a really good tool as long as there arent any really bright objects in the FOV?
Steffen, I was quite surprised at the contrasty image the small frac can show from light-polluted city spots at higher magnification, presumably because it darkens the sky background due to the small aperture, which actually increases contrast. Also the UHC filter is worth its weight in gold. Over in Europe, I could see the Veil from a suburban area after a search just to see if it's possible. The view wasn't overly spectacular but hey.
