Sorry viewers...no technicolor hues to be seen here...just a few more luminance hours added from my earlier post.

The link is here (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery410.html)

Some nice and *very distant* clusters can be seen top of frame.

I think I'm hitting the point of rapidly rapidly diminishing returns on the luminance front....so colour will be next....then again...Sydney's forecast
doesn't look too good :rain: :rain: so it might be a while.

Very kind of you. Suffice to say, my skies are not dark

Thankfully this little puppy goes close to my local zenith so there is not too much haze to cut through.

As to the limiting magnitude of the field....haven't checked, but would be happy for anyone to let me know :thumbsup:

Looks a lot smoother. :thumbsup: That cluster at 2 o'clock must be very faint. Lots of extremely faint background galaxies as well. Looking forward to the colour when (if) you get a break in the weather. :rain:

Really beautiful, Peter. Pin sharp and lovely processing too.
