Thanks Paul. Happy with the field but is hard yakka to get those photons with the ED80. Takes too long

I think, after Rho Ophiuchus, this is my second favourite part of the night sky. Incredible area.

Tell me, what nanometre bandpass is your hydrogen alpha filter? I've got a Lumicon 12nm that JohnG has loaned me and need to try it out, but, then again, trying it is moot as the new CCD will be arriving either end of next week or the beginning of the following.

Thanks H. Yeah it's a beautiful part of the sky indeed. I'm going to cover it all with the Hyperstar in NB. I think 4 panels should do it. I currently use a 7nm Baader Ha. 12nm should let more light in for you.
