Thanks guys, one of these days I'll get round to processing the stacked image, but the hours @ work are killing me atm.

Like you, I find it difficult to find time around my work (FLO still keeps me up til gone midnight most nights, hence the time of this post!). Thought I was going to make a start at Kelling but the weather didn't cooperate :roll: I recently sold the Megrez 90 and bought a Pentax 75 SDHF specifically for the purpose so I hope/pray to be out there soon!

Well, at least FLO keeps you up because you are busy I hope, its the reverse for ourselves atm

Only just caught up with this beauty. It's big isn't it!

Spent the last twenty minuets checking it out bit by bit. I think there might be a few other DSO hidden away in the image. Working my way out from M57 I came across this (see image) and think it may be a galaxy rather than just an artifact or noise. Haven't got time at the moment to check the area in Starry Night and wonder if anyone can identify it.

Hi CW,

I think it is IC1296. Image below is one supplied with my copy of Sky Map Pro
