Wow you really are on the case this morning! Lovely images. I just realised, the smaller spots between the two main ones only show well in WL and not HA.

Nicely done Charl, more grey than blue here again, not been up long as I was trying to get some imaging done last night before the Moon gets too big, the clouds practically became stationary and parked over the spot I was trying to image, didn't get to bed until 3am.

Early morning  was the best time here as well,  been very cloudy since. A fine set of images as a reward for your efforts.
