This is the result of my main imaging session last night, early evening was spent cloud dodging but come 10:30 p.m. the cloud went and the night sky was amazing with good seeing.

Here's the details:

DSLR Prime focus on C8-N;

22 X 5min subs, ISO800;

Guided with QHY5 on ED80 using PHD;

Processing PixInsight DBE, PS CS3.

cheers
