Hi all
My first attempt at Ponz Brooks as it appears in the southern skies. Very low in fading twilight and atmospheric extinction, sky was nice and transparent after a lot of rain recently so that helped. Used the Argo Navis to find it, pointing the scope then waiting for it to get dark enough, sadly theres lots of trees near my place, got it between trees, some of which were in the images, was tough to flatten the background.
Image is 40 x 4 secs ISO 3200. EOS Ra, 8 inch f4 Bintel newtonian
It was oddly hard to see in binoculars yet surprisingly bright in the camera live view. Processed in SIRIL and Photoshop. Cropped from larger view
