Real Nice going and lots of signal there Andre
Good colours too considering Light Pollution did you use any filters ?
Thats come up trumps ...

Thanks Bob ,I only use a Baarder Moon & Skyglo filter , it seems to do the job just fine as I am able to read a book whilst imaging due to the close proximity of street lamp posts and floodlights used to illuminate a public park adjacent to my house.
