Deep Dumbell nebula

Hi all
last night bought excellent conditions. I did a longish 2 hours 30 mins on the Dumbell nebula

15x10 mins ISO 400, LPS filter, MPCC, 6 inch f3.6 SN Cometracker, Modded 350D

Full size version here

It is still low in the northern sky for me and the first lot of subs were quite light from the glow of Newcastle. seeing not too flash either, I think if I used the 10 inch I would have got a larger but blurrier nebula. Was a little breezy at times too. I did masking to bring out the faint oxygen glow at the sides.

To top off the nights imaging, as I did so I listened on radio to the Newcastle Knights beat the Storm
