NGC346 in SMC with SN10

Had a bit of clear sky to get 5x4min at 400 ISO at ambient. Clouds then ruined any chance of longer exposures. I processed the five images any way and this is the result.

I need to drift align with the SN10 as there is a bit of drft. The main thing is the Paracorr PLU-1106 corrects the SN10 very well even for a full frame. I seached the web and could not find any reference to SN scopes and Paracorrs. There is a bit of vignetting at the corners but this is due to the size of the secondary mirror. I have worked out how to fit the fridge to the SN10 and it will be a real beast for the poor old EQ6 to carry. If I can get this sort of result with only four minute subs of quite dim objects this setup will get very good data when the clouds finally go south for the summer.
