Took this on my first night just to test guiding and waiting for targets to rise. Cr399 Coathanger or Brocchi's Cluster. Also enjoyed viewing it through Andrew's 12.5" dob.

Thanks all. Did push the processing a bit much I think, but happy for a quickie.

Houghy - must admit I nearly called it the "dressing gown hanger" instead of "coathanger" :)
