Nice one
Cheers Peter. I've just started a session so I'm expecting the clouds to roll in any time!

Thanks Andy! I am. I wanted to go off the beaten track and do a difficult target. If it hadn't been for the weather and my eagerness to get an image under my belt I'd have gathered some more data. I'm happy with the result though.

Lovely framing with the bright stars surrounding it.

Thanks very much Mike! Seeing was only average here (2.2 FWHM on my combined Lum) but I always do a bit of decon to knock off a few tenths of an arcsec.
