Corona Australis with Genesis

Hi all ,
With all this full moon and bad weather I thought I get stuck into a bunch of pics I took last month of the dark,reflection nebulae and Globular cluster in Corona Australis. Image is about 80min in total of 800 iso and 1600 iso shots at 6 min and 3 min with canon 300d. Had some fun stacking these as bumped the setup halfway through and had to replace the battery as well causing some field rotation. Quiet pleased in the final image. Any comments welcomed.
Cheers Gary

A wonderful image. The rich deep browns of the dark cloud readily visible. Only deep images show that
Is your site a very dark one? Mine is quite light polluted here in Newcastle.

Thanks for the comments everyone .Yeah Adrian I get some color bleed around the stars (still not sure what to blame this on) giving alot of the stars in this shot a small redish halo (light through all the stellar dust?) and giving a pink look to it. I had six goes in PS and thats about the best I can get it.
Have a semi dark site here Scott as we are 20kms west of Wingham. Eastern side has a bit of sky glow from Taree and Wingham so try to image high up or to the west which is nice and dark.
My wife says its upside down too!!! ..
Thanks all for your kind comments and lets hope this wind and rain goes somewhere else!! I want to try my new G-8!!!
Gary

Hi Alex,
If you mean the old building next to the courthouse on the corner thats now a historical museum!! They finally fixed up the poor jet fighter in the park which started falling apart but looks as good as new now!
Nice area here we are surrounded by mountains..and away from those terrible street lights..
