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?
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.

Uploaded the quality as usual, a good jpeg.
