Yes, given it's so low I was pleased I was able to see the faint stuff. I'd have given up on it if I hadn't.

Thanks Steven - I think it's shaping up. The colour version will better though!

Thanks Mike. Definitely worth keeping at it. What I didn't say above was that to get 2.5 hours of usable Ha I spent 7 nights trying!!! (hmmm ... that's almost embarrassing!). Getting good enough conditions for luminance / Ha is hard at that altitude! Should be a bit easier with RGB though.

Cheers Steve! Yes, the colour of this object is something else if it's done properly. I hope the conditions allow me to gather some RGB this year!
