Hows this for RGB, 4x5 minute images, no flats, darks or bias.

looks like there's a blue fluffy gradient around those stars ;)

Looking good.

You'll have to post a compare to one taken at home.

4x5min - is that all? 
It certainly looks very good.

What camera and what scope?

Hi Mark,

ED80 with .85 field flattener and my QSI853 at -20c.  Good aint it, the sky was very clear and I think it was about 3am in the morning, I'd just finished a wide field ic63 & ic59 and was looking for something bright and quick to image.  It turned out to be my best M45 to date.

That's very nice Chris, it certainly helps when there's no LP doesn't it.
