Thanks for your comments Rodney. It is one of the hardest ones I have done from Boronia and I was pretty happy with the results. I'm thinking next time I might increase the exposure from 6 minutes to 10 minutes, unfortunately, there is a law of diminishing returns with the light pollution here.

Thanks for your comments Kevin. I could never have done that in the old days with film with the current levels of light pollution, thank god for CCD's
and Pixinsight.

Thanks for your comments Colin, If I recall correctly you live under the Melbourne sky and suffer the same light pollution pain I do. They haven't totally defeated us yet.
