NGC104 - whiling away the hours on a moonlit night while i was waiting unsuccessfully to image comet Swan F8 2020 i thought why not. well it was far too moonlit to really be any good, but nonetheless its one i managed to capture.

Good work. Beautifully shows the almost unique "signature" central condensation of 47 Tucanae, and you got the colour right!

thanks, i really wished i could get an even field most of the time. i really think that these RASA scopes suffer immensly with such a sharp focal plane. you really need steady temperatures to get the best results

well i jagged that one :lol:many thanks for the advice

it is, ngc5139 and this one:thumbsup:

Good catch David. It’s always good fun to run off these images at short notice. They can produce surprisingly good results.
