Congratulation.

Another great image coming from you. Look like you were very successful in your recent trip to LNO.

I like your colour balance on this photo. You have preserve the colour of the stars very well. And the tracking was right on. BTW, what mount were you using?

Hi perseid,

It is great that you like the color. Had been trying hard to figure out better balances.

I am using Tak's P2 mount. Guided manually using 60mm guidescope.

lol, it looks like there isn't any fine stars but rather the area is glowing.
