ngc2070 ... ngc5139 ... ngc104 ... widefield

Hi All

I got out in my reassembled obs last night for a couple of hours before the wind started to blow and took some shots to try out imaging with my FLT110 plus MPCC and UV/IR filter. The only way I can use the UV/IR is to use my MPCC as I can't fit it to the TMB 4" field flattener I bought with the scope. I had to attach my WO 4" extension tube to achieve focus. Anyway here are the results.
Oh I've also thrown in a B&W widefield shot of the sky at my place with labels ( coz it's a crappy shot ) only 4x30sec shots with my 350D mounted on a tripod in howling breeze as I packed up to go inside. Actually I just took another look at it and I'm not sure I've got the labelling right ?

details

ngc2070 56mins 23 secs 8x360sec + 2 shorter ? ( must have been a couple of clouds around ... lost guide star)
