Fantastic detail and a very dramatic colour palette 👍

Love this! 

I have a version of the same area that I dedicated over 30 hours to with my 12” meade lx200 sct 

I think your version is gorgeous 

Thanks for sharing

Thanks i would kike to see that image, as i also own a 12” lx200 which is setup in my Dome but ive only used it for planets so far as i can never get it to guide well enough for deep sky. i could put it on my EQ8 in my roll off roof obs but that would mean taking my other 4 smaller scopes off, and dont want to do that. Seems a shame though as i think  the 12” would be great for small stuff.

Thanks Lee

I hope to own an eq8 or equivalent one day, at the moment I am carefully balancing it on my azeq6 on a homemade pier! 

I have tested many reducer/flatteners over the years and settled on the (not so cheap) Starizona LF focal reducer/flattener, if controls the stars well, good enough to even use it for mosaic imaging with my Atik383, I haven’t tried it with a bigger chip yet, no Autofocuser, just bahtinov mask and lack of sleep! 
I will post the image soon, I’ve not finished processing it yet and after seeing yours I’m tempted to start again! 

Thanks again
