Thanks Ian. Just tried 30s exposures to avoid blowing the core and so I'm quite pleased with how the colours have turned out. Although it wasn't so dark last weekend I couldn't resist grabbing an image or two with consecutive clear nights. Maybe you'll get some time later in the summer?

Very nice image.

As a visual observer, can I say that it's nice to see that you've captured the three dark lanes, sometimes called 'the propeller'. This is very obvious visually, but often gets swamped in images by all the stars. Nice one.
