Thanks Andrew. I hope to get some colour in the next few days - looking forward to capturing those beautiful yellow hues too.

Thanks Michael. This is my first image using my new Robofocus unit so focus was pretty consistent & good over 8 subs. FWHM ranged between 1.8 and 2.1 arcsecs - not too bad!

Thanks Frank - just got to make sure I get plenty of data so I don't mess things up with too much colour noise.

Yeah, those dust clouds are cool. They seem to extend well into the halo in places too. Some more Luminance data will go down well if I can get some good seeing.

Thanks mate. Yes, there are quite a few - not sure there are hundreds though (?) - some pretty faint stars in there no doubt.

Cheers, Marcus
