Was good seeing quite a few of you in there watching and chatting. Thanks

Objects shown: Tarantula Nebula in LMC, 47Tuc, Fornax Galaxy Cluster (both north and south regions), NGC 253 Silver Coin Galaxy and a whole host of Galaxies throughout Sculptor, Keyhole Nebula in Carina Nebula, Trifid Nebula, others I can't remember right now, and the night rounded off at 4:30am with M42.
