Steven,

Those two objects look like they're a match made in heaven.

I love the image scale you're getting with that camera and the BRC.

You might want to also have a go at the starfield to the east of the Southern Pleiades. Here's one that I did a few years ago: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=16825
