NGC 3293 Gem Cluster

First nights imaging in Sydney last night for over 2 months due to fires and flooding
NGC 3293 Gem Cluster adjacent to Carina Nebula
6” f6 Bintel GSO newt on a HEQ5 mount
Canon 600D unmodded with Baader coma Corrector
ISO 800
50 x 90 sec dithered guided subs
25 x darks
PHD2 guiding 1.20 to 1.50 arc sec error
Frame , Focus and Capture with BYEOS
Goto and tracking EQMOD ,StellariumScope and Stellarium
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools v1.5
Seeing conditions, very good for Bortle 8 suburban
Intermittent clouds most of the night until 12.30 am which made capturing usable subs a long process ( stopping and starting PHD2 and Frame Capture ) Finally got to bed at 2.30am
2 images , wide field and cropped

Thanks for looking , comments welcome !
