There is nothing wrong with the images from a DSLR Alex. I've got that one printed and framed, although a more saturated and cropped (square) version.

Greg.

Thanks Greg, still needs a lot more integration and some added Ha for the fainter aspects.

Thanks Allan, even your brightening skies are darker than my Melbourne ones at midnight

But - compositionally it's a bit awkward - lots of empty space either side... imo would have been stronger rotated 90*.
Also there appears to be some focus/tilt issues on the bottom right & (less so) top right?

Cheers

Composition? What is this word of which you speak
You mean rotated and cropped like this?!

I've tried to get a happy median at the moment, waiting for Officina Stellare to send me a document on how to fix up some pressure on the front lens which is causing a collimation problem. The closer I get to getting the bottom right corner in focus (tilt) the more it affects to the top right and bottom left corners.
