Thanks John. My LMC shots for some reason are always noisy. I think I get a lot more moisture saturated air southwards and it is still a little low. Too much airglow from the M7/M5 intersection as well.

The barnard loop was only as a filler before sunrise and a last minute decision so only 6x10min. It rises above my two storey roof quite late in the morning. I would need a lot more exposure to really do it justice.

It's in my plans to do a full Ha mosaic of the Barnard Loop and much fainter Eridanus loop which is just west of it from Aldebaran upwards. That would be about 50x25 degrees of sky but I think a 35mm will do it in a few panels.
