Flame Nebula

[Peakedge]

Took the opportunity on Friday night to get out and took the attached image of the Flame Nebula. I took 30 x 5 mins @ ISO800 but this is from only 11 of those images, the first 11. As time went on, the resultant frames dininished in quality in that the subject faded significantly over time. Stupid question that I think I know the answer to but could the diminishing data be caused by dew either on the primary/secondary or on the camera/filter? It was a cold damp night and everything had a coating of frost on it!

Anyway, comments on the picture always welcome, as well as the advice I need!!!!

11 lights @ 5 mins ISO 800

Thanks for looking.
