M56 + NGC6823 + NGC6992

From a couple of nights/early mornings in the back garden, about a week ago. SW200dps + EQ6, IDAS D2 light pollution filter & Canon 600d (astromodified). 9x50 finder/guidescope and Bortle 6 skies.

Still having problems with random sporadic RA movement (40-75 arc mins!) - could it be gusts of wind? If so, why wouldn't DEC also be affected?

M56 - 19x3min subs
NGC6823 - 49x3min subs (the SH2-86 emission nebula is very faint). Intrigued to read that the central cluster has stars which are only 2 million years old & the dark dust pillar is caused by stellar wind eroding the dust.
NGC6992 - 19x3min subs (Top) + 5x3min subs (Bottom). This was just an experiment to see what would come out in RGB & to attempt a mosaic. Camera battery died on the 2nd night after only 5 shots & barely had enough juice to take 13 flats. (& I couldn't find my spare batteries...) I've subsequently learnt how to generate a Mosaic plan using Cart du Ciel, which can be imported into APT as a Custom set of objects.

Cheers
