Barb and David, you astound me!!!

You haven't even got your Guiding happening yet and you STILL have nice round stars!!! And in a gale!!!!!

What rabbit are you going to pull out of the hat when you do get Autoguiding happening and no wind???

Great work. That is a nice image of 47Tuc :thumbsup:

Very nice - looks like focus is spot on, which is quite an achievement by itself. Well done.

Cheers

Excellent image, very well done.

Great image Barb and David. 47Tuc is a tough target to image process as the dense core is extremely bright (far brighter than Omega Centauri). This make it difficult to avoid clipping details. Well done.:)

Thanks for the comments Leon : Houghy : Ken : Dennis : Mike and Jase

Our imaging is a combined effort by the two of us.

I do the initial set up then we both do the align with the Polarscope . I do the focusing and imaging and Barb does the processing.

We appreciate the positive feedback and consider we're doing the best we can with our equipment particularly at our age :lol:

Barb reads all the helpful posts by Jase and others to try and understand processing. Some of it's a bit too technical so she uses the basics in PS.

Thanks again guys
