Well its a fabulous Southern target and its in a good spot for imaging right now.

Perhaps not the best timing to post this after Wolfgangs effort but here it is.

I was happy with this as I used a Tak 1.6X extender on my TEC180 to get F11.2 and a larger image scale. This was also taken from my front yard! FLI ML8300.

About 6 hours total. I probably will take some more once the moon goes.

Some subs had a few tracking issues but couldn't afford not to use them. Also a few had softer focus. Again, tough luck when you consider getting clear skies, no moon, time to image etc etc.
