Thanks Marc and Barry, I'm really happy with the results from the FLT110



Thanks JJJ, There's certainly at lot of nebulosity around this object



Thanks Rick, still on L plates with Pixinsight but sometimes you get lucky. Does help with data from a dark site.:)

I love Omega Centauri and your image is great, but The Tower is a cracker. Well done

Two great caprtures there Geoff, composing an image with data collected at a star party is quite rewarding huh? I haven't done it since 2005 :sadeyes:
