My best 47 Tuc

On Friday night last, I got not only clear skies but some of the best most steady seeing I've ever experienced. I noticed this when I saw the first subs of this object. Also masked in short 30 sec subs to preserve the bright core.

7 X 5 mins iso 400 and 6 x 30 sec all at iso 400. The Sutching 10 inch f5.6 mirror finally got to show its quality. In Newcastle good seeing is all too rare so was great to experience it. Stoked I can hand guide that accurately on a 35+ year old mount with a plastic RA drive wheel,
