Leyburn Brumby

I took this on the 2nd night of my first ever trip to the Leyburn dark sky site in SE Qld, after chasing low lying Messier objects. The wind was much kinder on the Sunday night fortunately so little loss of subs and decent tracking. I'd like to say I've tried to be creative with framing, but actually I botched half the red frames and lost about 1/5 of the bottom of the image I'd planned to get

This is LRGB 15:12:12:12, all 3 mins subs, unbinned Lum, RGB all binnedx2, taken with QHY9 through 8" Newt/MPCC.

I'd hoped to get some Ha recently, but camera problems have prevented so far. Still, I was pleasantly surprised to get this from 30mins of data.
