Thanks everyone for the nice comments...

I think the neb is a bit on the pink side so might change the color balance slightly......
and thanks Jase about the CWAS award!!!
I didn`t really expect anything but happy to get a pic in the touring exhibition.
Everything went right for me during my imaging session, got focus right and guided fairly well. I don`t think I could ask much more from a canon 300D and a 6" newt.
now only if I can afford a ST11000k...

and a big APO....
I can dream a little...

have to work on that other half first...

Thanks again everyone....
