Thanks everyone
I will get the colour next session to complete the vista, it was truly a case of ..hmm? what's up there now and high at 3am
....ah huh! the seeing wasn't too bad either so I went for the little bunch of distant blighters
The star flares..
..still haven't tracked that one down yet, coming from
somewhere in the imaging train, most likely something is sticking in to or providing some sort of incident reflective surface in the light path somewhere.... I've just got used to them now. I guess you poor RC and Newtonian users have to put up with it
...besides they grow on ya
...actually, images of this field done with an RC or Newt show much larger diffraction spikes on those two bright stars.

ps just starting the processing on the other image from this dream weather new moon run we were blessed with
