My first M20

My first go at M20. 25 Subs a mix of 30 to 60 secs,
ISO a mix of 1600m 3200, and 6400.
First mostly cloud free night in over 6 weeks.

That's very nice Raymo.
What instrument are you using?

I have some M20 data that I just started processing (& hope to post up in a few days) but found it's quite a small object for my ED102 F7.

Thanks Rowland, I resisted over saturating the colours; I actually
prefer the more delicate, pastel like hues, but each to his or her own.

Thanks Hugh, my best efforts to date, I think, along with Ngc253
some months ago. It's good to watch newbies climb the learning
curve.
