Hi all,
Finally got a chance to get the camera mounted onto the scope again tonight and tried to see what I could get around the Omega Centauri area.
Well I got 3 good shot as the clouds rolled in not long after I started to run off a bunch of shots. So here is a widefield incorperating Omega Centauri (NGC5139) and a faint Centaurus A (NGC5128)
Only 3 x 90sec shots + 4 darks + 7 flats stacked in DSS. Canon 40D, 100mm macro lens @f2.8, iso1600. Piggybacked on tracking HEQ5 mount. Didn't get it polar aligned real well this time but you get that sometimes. And if it wasn't for the rain starting to fall I would have tried to get a close up shot through the scope too but instead it was a very quick packup. Ah well maybe tomorrow night.

p.s. I must get myself an illuminated eyepiece for aligning
