Description

RGB 300s x 6 per channel
Lum 300s x 12
Ha    300s x 57

This was taken over about 3 nights,  Ha was during a 3 quarter moon, RGB and Lum was taken before moon rise.

Still had horrendous gradient in the image, removed with APP. Colour balance needs to be improved. Some real issues with my stars, in the corners of the image, much worse than usual. Because this was taken over serval nights the camera was shifted moved between session, for other targets. 

Collimation is off again,  but have corrected it since.
