Thanks! Re color balance, I didn't adjust that at 
all so I'm not too surprised it isn't right. I'll 
try and fix that. 

Re manual guiding, believe it or not I have some 
not-too-shabby shots that are 45 minutes long. 
Just about drove me nuts! An autoguider is *first*
on my list of new equipment to get. PE of the drive
system seems pretty smooth - no sudden jerks - so 
I think it'll work okay. I'll have to add an opto-
isolated autoguider port to the drive corrector, 
but no big deal.

Hi Alen -
A great first image post.  Nicely done!
You captured some nice detail down in the core region.
 Color balance looks a bit too red in the
shadows on my monitor. Your guiding looks good, and
manually done to boot! :-)
