Angry star....

Unfortunately mother nature has given Sydney very few clear nights of late, so it is a case of grab what you can...

This is more a proof of concept image that I used to test my system at around 3700 mm focal length.
Why? As Fred says "narrow field rules!"

Despite the eggy edge stars (need to use a different barlow) and slightly soft image (a steady atmosphere at these FL's is very critical) I don't think the result was too tragic.
