Thanks for the comments lads.
Yes, there was slight haze which created a real headache processing the images and caused all sorts of issues to both the star halos and the background sky colour.
I limited it to 2 mins due to the high cloud and the wind catching the dew shield from time to time.
Ideally, I would like a sharper image with more structure visible in the nebulosity. Anyways, 1 step at a time I suppose.
Images were unguided.
