I am currently in the north of Thailand collecting some data in between the clouds and haze. This is a combination of LRGB at 90:40:40:40. The lum was taken at 1x1 binning and 10 minute subs. The RBG was at 2x2 and 5 minute subs. I will probably take some more lum to reduce the noise a little more. I think I might have over-done the saturation on the galaxies a bit.
I do have an admission to make. I had to do a very ugly patch job on the top left-hand corner as there is some sort of reflection in that corner. I wanted to preserve the FOV. The only thing that I can think of is that it is the light from Chertan just catching something at the right (or wrong) angle. However, I wouldn't have thought that it was bright enough as it is about about 2 FOVs away. You can see what I am on about in the attached image. There are also rays emanating from the same spot. The reflection is present in all frames taken over 2 nights and they move slightly with dithering. Any differing ideas?
Superb image quality. I actually said something else when I opened the image. The things I really like at the various colours presented in each galaxy. I really like the edge on detail and the semi face on is really nice in its delicate look. Very nice work.

Great stuff Rob. I agree with what has already been said.
Where abouts r you roughly. I have a good mate, who has an observatory at my dark sky site at Leyburn, that just bought about 3 acres just near Udon Thani to build a house and observatory on. I know he would probably like to ask a couple of questions re the sky and seasonal variation.
