NGC 6188 with 5DH and 10 inch scope

Hi all
Another beautiful night last night so went after NGC 6188 with the 10 inch f5.6 newtonian and 5DH from Bert.
14x10 mins ISO400. MPCC coma corrector and LPS filter. temp was about 10 degrees, yet fairly dry.
Full size pic here

A few little cosmetic hot or dark pixels, oddly enough they appeared only on the first sub, much fainter on the 2nd then almost gone from the rest. Processed in IRIS, which is good software especially as its free but it doesnt do well at removing hot pixels so I ise Photoshop to remove them manually. Same applies for my 350D camera.

Never before has my 10 inch scope gone so deep over such a wide field. I cant wait to get the 5DH onto M42, or even image 2 planetaries in the one frame.
