Hi all
The weather has been pretty awful for most of November, but I managed to get out during the last two weeks in between the cloud, fog and rain. I finished this last night before I went on to finish M45. It was taken with the FSQ106ED on a Paramount ME with Starlight Xpress H36.
Exposures were 24x5 minutes each for RGB and the callibrated frames were stacked and then the only processing was levels, curves, contrast and colour balance with a mild gradient removal
Thanks for looking
Best wishes

That's a nice image Gordon. The weather here (Sydney) has been awful throughout November as well, and we are predicted to have a wet December as well. Much more of this and I won't remember how to operate my imaging equipment/software !#!#$$!$!
Nice capture Gordon but there seems to be a lot of atifacts in the background. Well as for the weather you are definitely not alone. Looks like the drought here is over and we are moving towards being waterlogged. We Aussies are never happy but for summer this is close to winter.

Thanks for the comments, I think the artefacts in the background are faint stars that haven't been stretched sufficiently to show them properly as there was very little processing done on this imaging with the subframes being 5 minutes. I can't see that they would be processing artefacts as basically there wasn't any (processing that is)
