Remote Globular

Finally a first light image....and it seemed only fitting to choose and object which definitely could not bee seen from my location at the time.

While not the best of 47 Tuc images... more a "proof of concept"... plus more work needs doing (eg: get a better library of flats/darks as the data here is incomplete...no flats...(what again! says Jase )

Lastly, remote imaging using your own gear from afar is not for the faint of heart....Hotel internet bandwidth can be woeful to non-existent.

In this case I lost all internet connections for a time. Thankfully the Boltwood did its job and closed the dome shutter (due cloud) allowing me to shut the whole system down when the net was back up.

...the result was none-the-less very pleasing.
