Amazing that us amateurs can do this these days. Its not so long ago that I can remember 4-10s exposures/frame in CH4... or maybe I'm just showing my age...

Well done; great detail.

Thanks Maurice, my journey in planetary astronomy started in earnest during 2012 with a 120mm SCT then a 356mm SCT in 2014 and then in late 2015 a 508mm Newt which is where I'll probably stop the aperture hunt unless the mirrors become lighter and better. However cameras are improving at a terrific pace as almost every 6 months a new more sensitive one comes along thanks to the automotive and security industries.

Cheers, Phil
