Great bunch of images.
AR13827 & AR13825 look exactly the same did you post the right image?
I am very jealous, as the LRGB Image I believe is the Helping Hand, and one I have had on my list for some time, but never at a dark location when it is high in the sky. It is on my list for this months DSC.

Thanks. Yes, there was a duplicate of one of the Ha images, I have now edited the post.
And yes, I believe the dark extended clouds are referred to as The Helping Hand. It is difficult to do it justice from London...

LBN 643, LDN 1355
Brilliant result. Looked at the Astrobin version, stars and detail are excellent. Extremely challenging to get results like this from Bortle 7 and 8.
