I think the field could be wider...to better frame the subject, but this is a minor quibble at best.
Thanks Peter!
I use a lightbox for the flats, taking seperate ones for each filter - but maybe there's something I can improve there... not sure what yet?

I’ve ATTEMPTED LRGB from Melbourne, anyone that gets that done well gets a double from me
Cheers Colin - Looking at your image I'm thinking NGC 267 is a standalone target for my RC8 when I get all the bits for it sorted out.
Thanks for good vibes

Cheers Simmo - yes I agree with both you and Peter above, the composition is too tight!

Next time I'll extend it out but not this year - I'm keen to move on to another target and back to the safety of NB this time too
