Thanks Atmos, This very point you make was something I endeavored to do, gathered from some of the gurus in the Deep Sky section, I am glad you see it that way too.

Cheers StuTodd, I carry the heavy 10" on the NeQ6 Pro, but this was totally unguided. I haven't been game enough yet to try Autoguiding, (still learning the craft) but have it in my sights that's for certain. Maybe not such a good Idea for my setup though - long 1250mm focal length weighing 18kg!

I'm glad you've got so much out of this forum to produce this result.
Mickoid, thanks for your thoughts on this image,very kind I must add, yeah mate I have been working away at the data capture and more recently learning some better habits with my processing making steady improvements here and there. I've identified what I can do in the field to make things easier - one of them being polar alignment and following that my workflow is a lot smoother now.
Cheers
