Bit noisy but I guess that's a limitation of using a DSLR.

Looking at the histogram in Astrophotography Tool, all the channels are way to the left, with the red channel being clipped a bit. I suspect that's to do with the long focal length of this scope and using an unmodded DSLR?

I'm happy with the result.

thanks for looking

I didn't know the galaxy had a Sting in the
tail to go with it's pearls.
Cheers
