Collected most of this a few months ago. Tried for some more data recently but it's getting too close to the meridian and I tend to get flexure issues at this point in the sky, which probably relates to old tasco refractor which I'm using as a guide scope.

So this is just over 3hrs of data. Not sure about colour...maybe a tad too blue? I tried to bring out some colour in the stars but these are 10 minutes subs @ ISO800 so they appear to be saturated.

Details
Scope: 8" Newt
Camera: unmodded 400d
Exposures: 19x10mins @ ISO800 (total exposure time of 3hrs 10mins)
Hutech Light Pollution Suppression Filter
Lights, darks and flats stacked in DSS and processed in PS.
