Thanks Rick!
Tried to get out tonight but the blessed wind was coming straight in the observatory opening in chronic gusts, buffeting the scope.
Hopefully have more to add soon.
Look forward to your Tarantula.

Hey Lester.... ah come on mate... your image just took a little time to get it right... looks good now!
And it IS a beast of an area with out a doubt.. I spent hours on the computer trying so many different techniques with mine.. this was over a couple of days...

It's a pretty poor time of the year with this damn wind over our way.... we have some of the best objects in the southern area of sky and it's a real 'berch' when the wind is coming from the exact location at 25+ knots you want to shoot .... my newt is like a sail....
Thanks for the comments though Lester!
