Thanks Steve but I just can't seem to get enough colour data to make things look good! 30 minutes just isn't enough and if I try to get more it usually means another night which ends up being next week for clear skies and by then I've forgoten about it!! LOL I was out last night on M88 and I'll post that one but again, all I had time for was 30 minutes total on the RGB (65 minute subs)

Sorry Trevor, I was in a bit of a rush when I did this. It was 30 minutes total time each colour. 6-5 minute subs. Luminance was 12-10 minute subs! II can do 20 minute subs with round stars it's just that I don't have the skies to do it. 10 minute subs are probably over doing it! Gregg
