Very nice Paul and I totally understand how its been a bad period for imaging. Nice to get a new image.

Great colour. Stars though look squarish and a bit flared. Watch the 695 sensor. Full well is not its strong point. I found using shorter subexposures was a good strategy to get tighter stars. Like 5 minutes instead of 10.

Flare would be from the primary mirror baffle tube. It would need a small baffle attached to the outside of that primary baffle tube to widen it slightly.

Greg.
