Barnards Loop

Hi all
Upon arriving home from Lostock I got keen and did some more imaging from my place in Newcastle.
I placed my 2 inch UHCS filter carefully on the uv cover lens of my 50mm F1.8 lens then shot these objects at F1.8

I was stoked to get Barnards Loop especially considering how bright my skies are compared to Lostock. I must see about getting a smaller portable mount so I can do some 50mm work there next time . The Barnards Loop shot is 3 x 2 mins ISO 1600
Eta Carina is 2 x 2 mins ISO 1600
The LMC is a single 3 min shot at ISO 400. All with the lens wide open. Normally the aberrations would be much worse but the UHCS filter in filtering out unwanted light also filters out some of the aberations and purple haloes
