Was not going to post this after seeing Greg's excellent effort but I suppose that it at least this shows what a 10" GSO RC scope can do from the suburbs.
Used 10x900 sec L(1x1) combined with 10x300 min each RGB sub ( binned 2x2) and processed in PS3. Had a real devil of a time with the colour but I think its almost correct.
Anyway comments welcomed.

Still looks damn good, Allan. I'm sure you could do better from a dark site but it's a luxury that many of us can't afford on a permanent basis

Yep, not bad, at all Al and the colour looks ok to me. It does look a tiny bit soft though Hmm? do you think you nailed the focus or was the seeing having a lend of you (as it does so many of us so often )

Thanks very much for the kind comments. I was lucky with this one as it appeared everything went reasonably well and I was able to gather sufficient colour to finish it. I was also pleased to get as much detail in the Luminance image as I did with the 10" GSO RC.
