A Pretty Galactic Cluster

[JohnG]

Hi all

NGC 6231 in SCO

First light with the new guidescope setup after it seems like months of clouds.

Galactic Cluster NGC 6231 in the tail of Scorpius.

10 x 90 seconds at ISO 800 (RAW) combine and processed in ImagesPlus 2.75.

Usual Darks, Flats and Bias.

Nothing other than Digital Developement, was only a test image for tracking.

Prime focus of the Tak (f/8) guided with SW ED80 and ST-4.

Cropped and wide field shots with the Unmodded Canon 350D

Cheers
