Thanks guys, I enjoyed going wide field and broadband. The last few I've done have small FOV and narrowband.

I notice you're in Sydney. My Bortle 4, going on 5, skies are challenging enough when imaging dust. It must be harder still in Sydney!

Thanks Mike. I was sorta hoping no one would notice the funky stars. I've used the reducer before but with a 4/3 size camera sensor and it was ok. For this one I used an APS-C sized sensor. I might need to fiddle more carefully with backspacing (even though I thought I had it right).
