NGC 3372 Carina under a Full Moon

First decent clear night for months and months on the south coast but unfortunately a big bright full moon
Conditions were really good , very light nor’easter and no dew around
Captured NGC 3372 Carina as it was well placed away from the direct glare of the moon in my Dome

Framed focused and captured with APT
PHD2 Multistar Guiding ( 0.43 to 0.48 arc sec error total )

Still have a little coma in the corners with the Baader Mk3 but used the Repair module in Startools ( warp preset ) to clean the up

It was just great to image again and see a beautiful clear night

Comments welcome
