I missed out on a dark sky night this month so I snatched what I could from home (light polluted inner Brisbane suburb...) The quality of the LRGB data is not great and I could probably have used longer on the Ha as well. Still, at least I got something
Scope: GSO RC10 @ f/6.4 (1600mm FL)
Camera: Starlight Xpress H18, Astrodon filters
Mount: AP900
Guiding: SX OAG and Lodestar
Exposures: 10x5 mins and 10x1 mins Lum, 9x5 mins each R, G, B
11x30 mins Ha in the HaRGB version
NGC 465 is the open cluster near the centre of the FOV. NGC 460 and NGC 456 are the areas of nebulosity to the right (see chart at the excellent Clouds of Magellan web site:

Thanks for looking. Constructive criticism welcome...
Cheers,
Rick.
