Hi Allan,
The larger version looks very good. Your tracking, focus etc looks spot on to me. I wish I could stars like that from my Vixen 8".
I am no expert but I think the bluer colour is a product of your unmodded camera. When I moved from an unmodded 350D to a modded one I saw a huge increase the amount of red in many of my photos, including Eta C.
You are right about a good dark site.
We have a place we go to called Coonabarabran. It is about 6 to 7 hours driving west of Sydney. We might only get there 3 or 4 times a year but it's worth it.
Good luck.
Ross.
