NGC 1535 and a quick M42

Hi all
Got up again in the wee hours today to get some morning objects. Tried for NGC 1535, a planetary nebula in Eridanus.

3 x 4 mins ISO 400.
Finished up with a single 6 minute M42 at ISO 1600

Could only take one shot as it was getting light due to dawn!. I stopped at 6 mins because I could no longer see the LMC , it was getting light.
Both taken with baader UHCS filter and Lumicon Coma corrector. 10 inch scope 300D camera.

PS no worries about neighbours turning on outside lights at that time of morning . generally the sky is a little darker overall as many non essential lights are off by midnight onwards. Cooler temps help the camera too.
