Cone, Leox3 and 5128

It's been a while since I posted any images. Thought I ought to put a few out there to show I have not entirely fallen off the deep end.
These from last 2 nights.
The Cone is a bit of a beast to get the colours. I had difficulty finding a decent reference except for a couple of satellite images that were entirely golden. So I have just had an unstructured play with it.
The 5128 shot is pleasing if only because I seem to have come much closer to decent focus on this one.
And the Leo trio - well, more colour would be nice but beyond my processing skills.
All taken with a QHY8 through an ED127 guided (QHY5/Orion 100mm F/6/PHD) - various exposures 2 hours or thereabouts.
Anyway, and as usual. All comments welcome.
Peter
