That's a great shot of Omega Cen, Raymo. I think you are right about the deep end though! I have got my polar alignment quite good, I think - using an old fashioned compass with correction for mag variation here in Tassie - NOT dumb iphone compass which read different directions every time I switched it on! Latitude taken care of with home made triangle cut from plywood to make exact 41 degrees...I have also tried my DSLR camera - Pentax with ASTROTRACER, just on a tripod. Got amazing photo of Eta Carina and South Pilades neighbourhood one night at 120 sec and the stars were quite round! A bit of purple around the stars though. I'm not after David Malin style pictures (that's just WAY out of my league) but just good photos. Want to do everything of course, all at once, and guess what? Bloomin' lousy weather for last 2 weeks, and now the Moon's coming up! Think I will just have a go at that with my Pentax and a 300mm lens!
