M24 starcloud in Sag with 200mm f/2.8

Hi everyone once again!!...
Its good to see that the cloud and the wind have finally departed up here!!
Nice clear skies with just a few patchy clouds around. Although still bad seeing for the telescope I got up at midnight for a go at M24 region in Sagittarius with my 200mm f/2.8 lense. Also captured M17 and M18 as well.
Getting the hang of focusing this thing now and quiet happy in the final image.
Ok exposure details: 14 x 150sec iso 800, 4 DFs taken with modded 300d and 200mm f/2.8 @ f/3.2..
Stacked in deepskystacker and the rest in PS...
It was only about 6 degrees C so kept the noise rather low.
I`m quiet happy with the final image..
All comments welcome!!!
Image size about 500ks...but still does no justice to the image..
Cheers Gary
