Thanks. 80mm refractor (orion ED80) with a 2x barlow cell.

Does not look overdone, though a bit hard to tell with such a small image. Keep at it.

Thanks for the encouragement Jase. Deep space? It is for me having never imaged anything other than widish fields. I still got my "floaties" on. I'm ready to image on a C11 soon and "take the plunge". Finally sorted out all the bits and pieces (OAG, etc...) so get ready for some real scary stuff.
