Hi all,
weather has been just ok for the last two nights so decided to do a quick image of
this great cluster of galaxies.
You will note that because I have a male M42 -T thread adaptor from my H916 (old M42 thread)
to the SX filter wheel male T.. instead of having the camera direct mounted to the FW, I have these
wild star reflections... something different !
I actually don't mind it... reminds me of a fast refractor but with spikes

I'm at the correct distance to my corrector so not worrying too much at this stage, another camera coming soon.

As usual, could have done with more imaging time and much better conditions as the image
is a little fuzzy as well as my guiding was battling 40K winds.... even though sheltered in the
observatory, the wind buffets within at times. A bit of a gradient as well.

Must get this one again another time when things are better, heaps to see.

Hit the thumb nail on my front page to view.

Hope your getting out this night... aahh, morning..
Better hit the hay now, work in 6 hours time... damn!

All the best
Rich
