Nice work on the galaxies Raymo,
Been fiddling around with my QHY8/C8 combo on the same target, have to admit DSLRs are so much easier to use.

Another fine image Raymo! You get a bit more detail than I do on the smaller objects. I have been lent an 8" F4 newt for a couple of weeks - I can t wait to see what comes of hanging my DSLR off that.
There seems to be a little but of green colour around the extremities of the galaxy, perhaps you can get rid of the green to see if you get a warmer colour in the core? may just be my monitor.
Bruce.

Thanks Bruce; you're quite right, there is green. I saw it when adjusting the histogram in DSS. I've got to have a play, and see if I can get rid of it. It is also a bit larger than I wanted, it looks better at 75% screen.

Thankyou Cam, George, Bo, Jo, Dunk, and Simon. Having a deja vous
moment here, I was sure that I had already thanked you all. I remember
typing it. Must have forgotten to press submit.

Nice one Ray!

Pretty good for 100 second subs unguided. You seem to have gotten some good detail and colour.
Are you still processing in DSS? If so, thats an even better result

Thanks Goran, yes still DSS. I have just received "Photoshop Astronomy",
so after I've spent a year perusing it I might graduate to PS, but mine is very old, and does not have some of the required features, so I might end up staying with DSS. I don't use raw either, or separate darks, flats, etc:
