Thanks guys,

Yep it was a fantastic sky!!!!

Imaging info for the pics above (now that I have had a sleep):

47Tuc - 1x20 seconds, 1x30 seconds, 1x40 seconds, 1x50 seconds, 1x70 seconds, 1x80 seconds, 1x90 seconds. Taken into easyHDR and layered for High Dynamic Range, then PhotoShop for cropping.

Flame Nebula - 3x90 seconds, Reggie 3, Photoshop for contrast and cropping.

NGC253 - 20x160 seconds, Reggie 3, Photoshop for processing then cropping (Moon Glow very evident).

M42 - 10x120 seconds, Reggie 3, Photoshop for cropping.

To counteract the massive Amp Glow problem I have, all images were framed in the lower right hand corner of the chip, then cropped in Photoshop. Moon Glow made the task even harder.

All - Saxon ED80, Modified Toucam 840k Pro II, 0.6x FR, Astronomiks IR/UV filter, Saxon 120mm f5 Guidescope, Unmodified Toucam Guide Camera with 0.6x FR, Guidemaster Autoguiding, captured in 'Desire', stacked in Registax 3 (except 47Tuc- easyHDR), processed and cropped in PhotoShop CS.

Whoooo! that's a mouthful
