This is a beautiful image Paul.
Looks like you have things ironed out with your scope.
Your colour looks spot on!
This time of the year in SA(over here at least) is a pain I've found over the years. For me being on the far west coast... about 10hrs West nor west of you, the evening skies are filled full of dust, heat haze and salt particles.. very rarely can I get good tight stars... but we keep at it!
I've been doing quite a few projects and one of them is 'Thors'. However everything is soft looking and the 'bubble' lacks clarity, unlike your rendition.
The amount of hours you invested is well worth the effort.
After another hot spell of 6 days around 42-44*C, am glad the cool change has hit...
Maybe things will clean up some...
Keep up the good work.
