Some details coming through.

What length exposures were you using? What do you use to calibrate/register/stack? I'm wondering if you can improve the noise levels.

Some nice faint stuff coming through Graham.

A great capture Graz.
Maybe shrink down the stars a wee bit?
Cheers

Hi BO, I could if I knew how!!
there was a lot of noise around, a blue laser from the Dark Mofo event was zipping around the sky and affected a lot of subs which made flats very poor for calibration. I might try again now that is finished.

Nice job - it's clearly quite a difficult target!

Good work Graham took some test shots of this last month....very faint from Sydney!I'm trying to muster up the courage to shoot It.
