Thanks everyone, it's good to have Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Likewise but I wanted to test on a glob. Hopefully I can revisit Omega in a couple of months.

Thanks I'm happy with it but I'd like to go deeper. I need a bigger boat!

What a season we've had. It was a couple of months before I was able to see stars again. I was lucky that I got two nights in a row and I could make some balance and cable run tweaks. Got it sorted on the second night and was then able to get some half decent captures later that morning, but Tuc was quite low by then.

My backyard sky isn't the best so clusters are good objects to target and experiment with and find my sky's, rig and my own limits. Defintely hit them up in between those wonderful nebulae you always post.

Here's the almost full FOV. There were stacking artefacts on the edges which have been cropped out and the file size limit on here has compressed it some more so it's a very crunchy.
