Nice job.

Thanks guys for positive replies This one was taken from the centre of Plymouth and dew seems to made things worse so it's not miracle. However I am happy I found it Need to learn some quick polar alignment method because most of the time I'm out I have to rush so that I can take anything before clouds come.

Man I love this object, and that's a fine image of it Martin. Some say it looks better than it images.

I don't subscribe to that notion. I have seen many lovely pictures of it, and this is another.

Nice one indeed Martin. No trailing visible, which means u are on the right track! I'd love to get that kinda result asap (no trails) since I am struggling a bit with the alignment :? Looking farward to your other targets
