Top job
It's interesting to compare the two different exposure approaches between you and M&T and how it illustrates that there isn't one recipe or data collecting mantra for all camera-telescope combinations, in order to get a great and deep image

thanks very much Mike. You are right, it is surprising how variable the image collection parameters can be with different equipment.

thanks Colin. I really love the further out galaxy fields - they contain such interesting objects.

Hi Glen. I put that stuff in the "description" section these days - with varying dates and sub lengths, it doesn't fit into the standard proforma very well:
taken over a number of sessions in Feb and March 2017
ZWO ASI1600MM-cool at gain 100
283x120s lum
30x180s green
47x180s red
27x300s blue
regards Ray
