Finally got around to aquiring myself an ED80, and after running her through her paces with some visual stuff initially, decided to end the night with a few images. However at some point I knocked the polar alignment so anything longer was streaky, oh well.

Did get some images from 47 Tuc however.

It does look good :thumbsup:

I checked other images of Tucan 47 and found similar nebula or perhaps galaxies in the background two in fact on the right as you pointed out and on the left.
