I like the way your skies have a very slight blue bias, looks natural.

thanks Mike - I love to see some blue tinges come out in galaxy shots, so I've pushed the blue saturation a little here, but hopefully not overdone it. Something I don't really get the luxury of doing from my local surburban skies through LPS filter alas. Has been fairly brutally noise suppressed with masking in the RGB of course...

What scope did you use?

Chris
Glad you liked it Chris - my 8" Skywatcher Newt is the only scope I have, and very happy with her...

It is a pretty one David - I think I put this on my imaging list for the stay after an article in one of the British mags listing top N and S galaxies from memory.
