Yes that's a lovely image there Les of this impossible for me to get galaxy.
Only rises around 10degs for me.
colour and processing looks very good also...

Would love to see the finished version in full res ??

Look forward to the end product.

Nice smooth galaxy shot Les ... bit low in the sky for me too unless I take the north side wall off my observatory maybe I'll get a dome one day with views to the horizon.
