Then I can use your image as a reference :-)
And I love octopus...
Good job!

Cheers Peter, delighted to have inspired you with this little image
Mmm Octopus
I once accidentally caught one on a line at Kangaroo Island - huge one it was too! Froze it in milk and brought it back to Melbs where a greek buddy of mine taught me how to BBQ it, then dip into olive oil, soaked with oregano, garlic & lemon juice - Yummo!

Really really well done on nailing the optical alignment - something I am still fine-tuning myself. |
Cheers Suavi, wish you were judging Astro photo comps!

Once again, it shows pretty clearly that good true colour shots can indeed be taken under big city skies.

That said and certainly when it comes to fainter and more diffuse stuff like molecular dust and faint galaxy arms or outer halos etc, dark skies still rule  .
Nice work.

Cheers Mike! Yes, I dream of dark sky imaging again
- even pre Covid-19 I only managed a few trips way each year
That said, thanks to good advice from the likes of yourself, Marcus, Peter W. etc I'm using this challenging time to lift my 'LRGB imaging under LP skies' game to a whole new level.
...and attempting to rectify my frustrating tilt issue!
