Plenty of background galaxies too, it's a nice looking field!

I've imaged this pair on a couple of occasions before, they make a nice target. I even did a ToUCam version once
I still have to try them with the QSI and big scope though, perhaps next season
Thanks Rolf yes I was happy with the result ..now just need some consistent seeing (don't we all )

What a fantastic result on a difficult target.
Yeah it was a bit of a test but that's pretty much why I attached the SX gear to the modset FL AG12 in the first place, so I could have a decent crack at some of these smaller targets and with 12" at F3.8 do it reasonably quickly and without darks or flats..mate, it's easy peasy imaging with these babies
