NGC 4372 Golden GC with Doodad & M104

Two great nights out here so we had two great sessions. Still have 2 other images to process yet.

NGC 4372 GC in Musca One of our favourite GC's at the end of the Dark Doodad. It's in a rich starfield of yellow stars in a dusty area in Musca which accounts for the small number of hot blue stars. There's quite a few other dark troughs here and there. Unusual little trails of stars in the cluster forming patterns.

M104 Sombrero Galaxy Only two subs taken last night as we ended our earlier session on another DSO. The moon had risen and the wind had been gusty all night so we gave it a try just to end the session.
