Thanks Martin, Chris and Mick. I did want to try the Antila cluster as well, but I can't complain. I keep meaning to go back and get better images/more time on various objects, but there's so much up there I feel like a kid in a lolly shop - easily distracted.

I'm in town on the border of a green/yellow zone, but the backyard is fairly dark.

The TS115 is 800mm focal length reduced to 640mm. It's a very good scope for the money and not too heavy. I notice it's just gone up in price by 100 odd euros.
I'm an amateur at processing. The images are lights only, stacked in DSS, stretched etc in PS and with background extraction in my trial of pixinsight.

That Centaurus cluster does seem to be teeming.
