Sorry for the repeat subject but this came up a little
better than the last effort.
DSI Pro II with homemade cooling keeping the CCD around
10°C with ambient (as I type) still hovering around 27°C
Needs more frames and seeing dropped off about halfway through
the set.

Nice round stars Steve. Always nice to see a shot of 5128 close up, and the cooling is working well. Amazing what the dsi ii can produce considering it's price.

Thanks Allan, you and me both :)
It certainly performs under a good light bucket and
fine tracking.

Here is a crop of the main image showing stars
down to Mag 17.9 according to Aladin skyserver.
