Last night was hot, windy, and with thin cloud, and I don't care. I still wanted to image :)

These are the only 2 images that worked out ok. Not very exciting images, but fun anyway :thumbsup:

1. Part of the Fornax Cluster
2. IC 2581 Open Cluster in Carina with the central star HR 4110 (this cluster is known for its large population of double stars)

Well done Ken, ;)
I was also out there battling some wind and cloud earlier in the night but it all eventually cleared up for me. Now I got some shots to go through and process.:)
I called it a night at about 4;45 am

Good stuff, Daniel.

I gave up around 3am. Cloud got too thick to see through.

Nice captures Ken, the Fornax group looks great. You sure got a few faint fuzzys in that one.

Cheers
