Not bad) I'm also shooting it right now. It'll be good competition) I also have a 200PDS but with a 294 camera. Is the quality not loading for me, or did you upload a compressed image?

It's a bit late to shoot now, I think. Last new moon was perfect.
Uploaded the quality as usual, a good jpeg.

Last new moon I was shooting too, but for some reason I spent all the time on the zenith, when I should have shot what was near the horizon until 11 and then what was at the zenith. Ahh, I remember. I was waiting for the CAA so I could conveniently rotate the field and, towards the end, just set the needed angle to shoot flats, but the CAA was held up at customs and I couldn't wait any longer, so I decided to shoot as is, but without rotating the field. I wanted to shoot Omega, the Eagle, and the Trifid, and one camera orientation didn't suit all of them... Wait, no, that's wrong. Last year I did it in one orientation and even the Lagoon almost fit.
I'm almost embarrassed to ask what kmk means) By the way, the quality loaded today. Super, but how I miss contrast specifically for the nebula. The mid-tones came out brightened, if that's the right way to put it.

kmk - as it seems to me)
At first, I also used to shoot several objects per night, but then I came to the rule: one night (or maybe more than one for faint objects) - 1 object
Last new moon, almost all the objects from the CMP were shot that way, the weather allowed it.

CM - center of the Milky Way? =D
Well, when the object is high in the sky, then yes, at least one night is needed for an object. And objects like M20 can't be imaged all night here.
