Thanks Mark, yes, it's a bit on the red side. I a man using the WO 0.8x flattened reducer version 3, spacing is not exact, but I tend to trim the edges anyway so it doesn't bother me much.

It's a tough one from Melbourne.
Thanks Mick. I had a bit more data to play with (over 4 hrs) so that helps with the details of the background galaxies and I can stretch the final image more as well.
