Thanks guys,
Trev with all the stars in this regions it is hard to control their brightness and bring out the nebulae. Too much control makes it look plastic and too little means the star still over whelm the image.
Darrin, I have keeping an eye on your images with the camera and I am please to see you getting good results. To control flexure look at OAG as an option. Once I migrated to that concept and got it working I have never had flexure problems since.
Rolf as one of the early adopters of this camera I have been more than happy with its performance. It does struggle in really hot weather but I will not image now unless the night time temp is around 18C or below. With the camera you have ordered you will be able to image at -20c pretty much all year round and near -30C in winter. The camera has high speed download and can carry more filters. It should be a very nice camera for you. As to the colour, it could be caused by the intervening dust clouds. NGC3603 is apparently in the Sagittarius arm and NGC3576 is in the Orion arm. We are looking through the Orion arm when looking at NGC3603, so that could well be the reason for the colour. Maybe someone else will be able to confirm or deny this?
