Dan, I was praying to Saint Dominic, the patron saint of astronomers, so that the skies would stay clear!! Once a Catholic, always a Catholic!!!

That bright star near the bottom of the frame is supposed to be yellow though isn't it?

Cheers, Marcus

Thanks Marcus - as I said to Mike, it's always a thrill when I get a compliment from one of the "Masters". As for the star that should be yellow, perhaps one day... when I'm imaging from a dark site and/or my processing improves!!

Thanks David for the compliment! The photo of me with my setup really surprised me as to how bright the sky is. I was just outside and the clouds are a bright grey, easily distinguishable!! But there's no point complaining too much as I really don't have any other choice at the moment....

Cheers,
Mario
