My deepest Tarantula and friends

Hi guys and Gals,
A lot of us were lucky in eastern N.S.W. on friday night to get some nice clear dark skies...
Here is my best and deepest shot of the Tarantula neb area with my 6" newt and Canon 300D. Guided with a toucam and PHD.
Image is 20 x 6min at iso 800. Seeing was average but got better throughout the night!
Sat back with my wife and watched the odd geminoid cross the sky!
All comments most welcome on my processing and colors..
Image does suffer a bit from jpg compression but to post...
I have never been happy with any of my attempts before but I am quiet pleased with this go!..
That cloud is back now but at least we got a clear night and right on the Geminod peak!
cheers Gary
