And nothing like a globular cluster, after about two seconds of inspection. I checked the setting circles on the Dob and checked Stellarium, and was pretty sure what I'd found, but went image searching to check. Nice! This removed all doubt, and of all the pics I've seen of this part of the sky, this is my favourite. Love how you got C104 in the frame, along with that amazing array of SMC nebulae.

Thanks so much Jason - I haven't looked in the deep sky section for quite some time and hadn't posted for even longer so it was a nice surprise to see your post. Glad you liked the pic 👍

I think it is better, not perfect, but it only took a few seconds.

Thanks Bob - I can't remember if I solved this with slower flats or extra baffling.
