NGC 1261 Globular Cluster in Horologium

Hi all
With the moon still up and cloud from the southerly change approaching I got off this shot of NGC 1261. Seeing was still quite good, and as the scope had been outside for hours in an improptu observing session with a mate, I took advantage of it.
Only 15 mins all up.
3x5 mins ISO 200. uv/ir filter, Baader MPCC coma corrector, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian hand guided, modded 350D. Processed in Iris and PS
Some very faint galaxies around it.
