Dear All,

Been waiting for a moonless and transparent night to capture this one. After so many rainy nights got a break in the clouds early morning of 7th October.

Dates taken: 7th October 2010
Location: Beckenham, Kent, UK.

Scope: Celestron 8 with Hyperstar 3
Camera: Starlight Xpress SXV-H16
Filters: IDAS LPR
Guiding: Skywatcher ST80 with DFK
Mount: Skywatcher EQ6

Exposure: 300s X 25 subs
Calibrated and Stacked in DSS
Stretched and Noise Reduction in Photoshop CS3

There's a bit of field curvature in the top corners. Not sure that caused it; Collimation? Your comments for improvement are most welcome.

Thanks,
Vincent.
