Thanks Kevin, yes the dew has been pretty bad but Monday night was dry until 1.30am. My problem is that with so few clear nights I can't spend a lot of time on one object, I get the urge to try some different targets so not a lot of integration time on each object.

Thanks PETER
[QUOTE=raymo;1370317]Yes, very nice.
I find it interesting that when I imaged that area a long while ago with slightly less overall integration time, and an 8" scope, the area around the Gem cluster showed a lot of red, whereas your image shows almost none, and yet your red Gem is redder than mine was; puzzling.
Here is a crop of the Gem for comparison.

Thanks Raymo, the red is there, here's another pic, stretched a bit more and a few more subs added. It's probably my quick processing, I wanted to keep the background dark and contrasty.
