Hi Greg,
nice to see the big refractor out and showing what it can do.
I like the blend you have with come up with. Colours look very good.
Like the way the Bok globs are standing out.

I was sort of wondering about the sharpness on the stars.. maybe the seeing was a little soft on one of the nights, or during the night?

I think it comes down to, the larger the aperture, the more the seeing will affect things.
Although as you said, you had a thunder storm, you'd think that would have cleaned and settled the sky.

Other than that, nice view of this interesting area.

Look forward to more images with this scope combo.

All the best
Rich
