Hi Jim

Yes, that image is a real beauty!
It was definitely worth all those iterations

I've been hoping for a break in the weather so I could have a go at M27 myself.

It's been raining pretty much non-stop here for weeks & weeks (I know, it's the British summer and that's to be expected). We had a short clear spell a couple of nights ago... I managed to get just three subs before I had to scramble to get everything put away as the rain started up again

Very frustrating as I'm itching to try and emulate (as far as I can) your wonderful image of M27!

Ah well, it can't rain ALL summer ... can it? ....
