Hi Giancarlo, I have the same scope / cam as you and that is a spectacular image. Looks like you've got everything fine tuned.
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

Whilst I'm also bortle 4, that portion of sky is low and light polluted. Shows what a difference that makes, your image blows my recent efforts out of the water.

Congrats - and welcome to SGL.
