Thanks Rob. I think it came up above the trees around 1:00am. I shot it Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.

Well done sir

Thanks Andy . Your McBook one probably has better colours and contrast but I'm happy with the details.

Thanks Aidan. Yeah, it just fits in the FSQ field. Perfect scope to image it.

Thanks mate. No it was my normal processing flow in CCD Stack. Still working out some quirks with Bayer drizzle. I probably pushed the saturation too much to get the blues. That's hard to get them at that low altitude or you need a lot more integration time. I reckon the problem I've been having in PI were related to a batch of bad subs taken in the fog. It seems to really chuck a fit when there are dodgy subs in the pre processing script. Now I know I'll give it another go.
