Jewel Box NGC4755

This one was sitting in the camera since January 2nd because I didn't think I had enough time on it. It's only 7 x 30 seconds between cloud gaps, but this 8" F4 keeps surprising me. It's okay for a quickie I think. The bright star at top left is Southern cross star Mimosa.

Details: Bintel 8" F4 Newtonian, 7 x 30 seconds mostly at ISO3200, 1 frame at ISO1600, Baader MPCC MKIII, Baader UV-IR cut filter, Pentax K-5, HEQ5 pro unguided. Image is not cropped, flats were used but no darks were taken.

The little jpeg here is a bit overly compressed so here's a bigger one. http://astrob.in/146450/0/
