2 planetaries NGC 2438, much fainter M1-18

Hi all
Also open cluster NGC 2437, all in one image. Ive got this before but this is by far the deepest
8x10 mins ISO200.
UV/IR filter, Baader MPCC coma corrector, modded 350D, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, hand guided with q guider cam on off axis guider
Transparency was good, and temp rather chilly, but seeing was awful espectially in first part of the session, guidestars bloated and boiling, and soft images no matter how carefully focused, Im surprised it turned out as sharp as it has
