Eta - Ripper Rita! (redone - again...)

A quick few frames from last night - before that blasted moon made itself seen.

Tak FS-102, 350d 5 frames @ISO800, 2 minutes per.

Sorry about the noise, it happened when I downsized.

EDIT: A new repro - with star halos reduced a little and CA also reduced. Amazing how much CA exists at pixel level - even from a top APO. I've done a colour replacement for each star affected (individually) by hand, and I think that the second version is better. I've also adjusted the crop a little to include the lower nebulosity. Cropping is about 90% over the originals' 80%.
