Sorry its late, had quite a bit on lately.

I like this as it gives a fantastic wide view of this region of space, there is loads going off with a number of NGC's and you have also managed to capture some detail in the large galaxy NGC7331, top stuff.

 

:thumbsup:

 

Congrats to all, you didn't make it easy, keep it coming guys and gals, especially now the clocks have gone back and the dark nights are upon us.

Gosh, lost for words. Many thanks for your kind comments, makes the hours of setting up, processing and all the things that go wrong worth it.

 

If only we had more clear skies........

 

Cheers
