Did a further 50 minutes worth last night of 5min subs (it was 1 hour but 2 were unuseable because of planes) and added them to the 3 1/2 mins subs done last night.

10 x 5mins @ 800 ISO
3 x 3.5 mins @ 800 ISO
+ darks flats and bias
Skywatcher ED120 Pro, guided with PHD and QHY5
Modified Canon DSLR EOS 450D and CLS filter
Processing in DSS & PS CS3

That's beginning to look really good. Those extra subs have made a big difference.

Lovely image.

I'd agree with Mark plus the colour balance looks about right.
