Thanks for looking everyone

Just nice to be out imaging again, funny even though I only have to set up the scope in my own back yard now and I have lovely dark skies, there are still many stumbling blocks to actually getting out to image, one of my main issues is the wind here ...so this data was taken over two nights with good conditions on the first but I started late so only gathered a couple of hours, second night after I had set up and it was getting dark, I turned on the laptop (which worked this time!) and all of a sudden, like someone turned on a fan near the scope, the wind just picked up - none one second, a strong gusty breeze the next...and held on for several hours, sheesh was I pissed I continued anyway just so I could get some more data but it was obviously a little soft and not all useable ...a-n-y-w-a-y......

Green stars Rolfy?...yes I see what you mean ...only a tad green though on my screen, more like yellow with a slight green tinge ...put it down to the hybrid NB blend

Yes Greg and Houghy I agree and I wanted more data on this rather faint area (even with 12" @ F3.8) but I can't wait for ever , I get bored and want to move on, had the scope under a bag between sessions for over a week waiting for good skies, when they arrived..so did the wind argg.... been over two months since my last image too. Still, lucky I'm not using a small refractor or it would show very little...the rest is down to secret get the most form your data processing
