Hi all,
Last night I had a go at NGC6164/65 after local astro guru Coops mentioned it as a good target.
Cloud was a real pain, coming and going.. But I did get a spell of about 30mins that were clear, although looking at the RAW exposures, I think there was some high cloud about playing games with me!
Anyway I got something. It's needs longer and a much darker sky. But it's a kick-off anyway.

6x4mins exposures at ISO800 with unmodified Canon300D and C9.25 @ f/6.3. Guided with ST80, ToUCam, K3CCDTools, & Star-Mate interface on G-11 mount.

Cheers
