Very good start. You've also got NGC 5169, NGC 5198 & IC 4263. I suspect that more data would clear up the noisy background.

Agree with Demonperformer it's a good start. Now just add about 10 times the data and you'll have a cracking image.?

Good image considering the skies lately have been polluted with some sort of dust or mist in the upper atmosphere?  collimation pretty close as well well done! Ton

Great image Stu. Looks a little green/grey on the background on my phone maybe?

Yeah I find sometimes phone brings out a funny balance in the colours.

Also sometimes when I bring what I think is a well balanced image from Photoshop to this site it goes very wrong and well if you send them to friends on Facebook it goes disastrous and downgraded to hell and back lol.

Clear skies ?
