Thanks Spike77, Trevor, Rich and Starhopper for the nice comments and sorry for the late response.

This is the kind of classic picture for this area and of course a tempting target for astro photographers. In addition the fact it can be taken with short focal lengths gives a break for a while about seeing and guiding issues.

Rich I have used a Carl Zeiss Jena 35 mm f3.5 native. This lens has M42 thread and it has no evident CA when stopped at 5.6 which is a relative fast ratio,
I used a QSI 583 WS with astronomik filters. Exposures were LHaRGB (60,20,20,20,20) with 5 minutes subs,

Thanks again all for looking and for the nice comments

Best Regards
Sergio
