NGC206 star cluster from M31

Another great addition to that giant mosaic. That will be ~100 sets of those 20-30 shots, no?

IC 1396 and vdB 142

Very nice looking. (I will also ask about 9 minute subs... ) I hadn't previously noticed you guiding with the C-8, but that makes perfect sense.

LBN 442 and a piece of Sh2-126 in the 10 Lacertae

Very nice image. I really like the subtle colors. My "first glance" impression is that it is a bit purple overall, but that may be the way it is. It could be one of those monitor things. When zoomed in it looks natural. I couldn't suggest how to move more towards "brown."

Very nice. The CDK is definitely on my new short list of "wanna have".

Good catch there. I like the result.

NGC 1023 (Arp 135)

I will have to add this one to the to do list. Nice. Any color coming?

Double Cluster

Ditto on the "more color" preference. Part of that is liking the sky not quite so black. Can you post a flat from that scope? (or have you somewhere?) Or do you even need take them with most exposures? I would guess you wouldn't need one with something like this, but with something really deep it would be interesting to see how much difference it makes.
