Doing a bit of well and truly overdue file rationalization and reordering and I've come across a few ( :lol: ) "unrecognized". I would love to know what they are.

Here's number 1.

Sorry no details except it was taken way back on the 5th June 2005 with an achromatic Celestron 102-HD and a 300D prime focus and was taken at 20:15 EST. Image has been cropped.

I think I know what it is but I'm not going to check. Just for the fun of it. :)


Here's number 2.

Sorry no details again except it was taken way back on the 5th June 2005 with an achromatic Celestron 102-HD and a 300D prime focus and was taken at 21:30 EST.

Both images have been converted to greyscale because of the excessive CA

Paul,

Not sure about the first one, but, the second one looks like NGC 6231 to me.

Hi Paul

Apologies for my flippant and unruly behaviour, there must be something in the Brisbane water making me act in this childish manner!:lol:

Cheers
