NGC 6744 with ST10XME

Dear All
I bought this camera recently and so far have only been using it for photometry. Just to see that I could take a pretty pic with it I changed the filters from photometry ones to LRGB filters and took a short series of NGC 6744 in Pavo.
The images are taken through my VC200L at f6.4.
I binned the images 2x2 as unbinned it was seriously oversampling on the night due to pretty crappy seeing. (~4arcsec)
RGB were 5 x 5 mins.
Lum was 5 x 10 mins.
Processed in Iris.
My processing is pretty crappy as spending lots of time fiddling infront of the screen really doesn't interest me.
Even so I like the image of a nice face on spiral.
The first light of a pretty pic with my camera.
