Cheers @knobby. It's a cracking little scope and a very good camera. What this image certainly lacks is processing which i'm only getting used to now. There was so much going on that i really had to tame all the weirdness. I wanted to spend more time on this image but given how many clear nights we've had, i thought i'd make do with what i've got. Still lots to learn.

Very nice Image!

Would love to give it a try myself, but for now it is too low for me, maybe later in the season

Many thanks for liking this image @nucdoc. It sure is a gorgeous object and one that deserves much more than what i was able to achieve. 

Will be looking forward to your version on this  Good luck.

Similar combination to myself. Nice job you've done too. How does your histogram look? Background looks a little black on my screen.

Thanks @Allinthehead, i didn't clip any black points, just played with the curves. I know the background looks a little black but then i personally like it a little black
