Dear friends ... and Kieran,
With the moon now becoming a factor each evening, I managed to get going during the latter half of the evening by pursuing the impressive emission and reflection Nebula NGC 1977 in Orion (aka Running Man Nebula).
This bright nebula images quite well with relatively short total exposure when using the ST-10XME. I remember the past couple of years going after it with my ST-2000XM and there is no comparison.
For a peek at the result (HaLRGB ) based on 190 minutes total exposure time, please see

. Please click on the hyperlinked image to get a larger version of the same and which does it much better justice.
Anthony.
