Dave,
Great effort under moon lit skies on this popular target
Excellent detail and colours
Well done indeed !!!
I’ve picked up the red/ pinks and blues on this Galaxy but only down south under dark skies at bortle 3/4
In Sydney I can only image galaxies during the new moon period (next 2 weeks) as the heavy LP and general ambient artificial light from neighbours kills the detail and colour, plus I don’t t have the reach. My new Carbon fibre 8” is due to arrive from Germany in a week or two , so it gives me more capability imaging galaxies in Sydney for the future ( as well as everything else)
There’s quite a few galaxies around but still low on the horizon up to 25 to 30 deg max
April to September is my favourite time of the year for imaging, so many options

Cheers
Martin
