Antares and NGC6144

The clouds stayed away just long enough to get one object, then filled the sky with their photo ruining presence.

Anyway this is Antares and NGC 6144, a nearby magnitude 9.1 globular. This is 69 x 30 second frames at ISO 1600 through a 6" F5 Newtonian, Baader MPCC MKIII coma corrector, Pentax K-x.
