Hi Craig,
Thanks for the link, I take your point, at f5.6 it looks like ISO 1600 and about 3 hrs of subs at 10mins seems the minimum requirement for this f ratio lens. And yes, I would say Broken Hill is as good a location as Stockport.

I think it will be a project for next year. Around the end of October, imaged from about midnight to about 3am.

Currently I can image this object from about 9:45 to 11:15 before I drive my scope tube into the floor of my observatory. I could flop the tube and start about 10:30 but I have problems with trees in the North West.

Regards
Trevor
