Nice capture Scott, I like it

Where exactly do you live by the way? You seem to take a lot of images!

Thanks all.
I live in Wallsend, Newcastle and shoot from my backyard. Skies are somewhat light polluted but the UHCS filter helps, and the backyard is well shielded from streetlights with fences and the house and garage. I cant access the shy north of dec zero, so cant get stuff like the Dumbell Neb, I concentrate on southern objects.
