Cheers Freddie its a beauty. Lots of intricate structure. I intended on trying the newt. But after i had got the best from the Bresser it was kind of pointless with lots of cloud. 

I am finding the refractor copes with thermal heat much better. its more consistent than the long closed newt. Just a bit short on resolution. Ordered some 3.8 film for it. And a continuum filter. So hoping at least I can get a slight improvement over what its doing now. For 5 inches. Cheap Chinese refractor. It seems to perform quite well. Not in your C 9.25 league. or larger newt under good seeing. But a good workhorse. Worth trying to squeeze more from I think.

Very nicely captured Neil, the wide view is particularly pleasing to view.
