Didn't know about the challenge so that's a complete coincidence I'll keep an eye on the challenge thread in the future. Where can I see invitations by the way?

I might have a go at AM1 then, after UKS-1 it'll nearly fry my chip - maybe I should put a moon filter in the path for safety

Well done on the UKS-1 image.

AM-1 is not going to be as easy as you think. The challenge with AM-1 is to show an image of the resolved cluster.
At 1.2 arcmin diameter you will require some seriously large FL.

I have been able to image and resolve AM-1 using a FL of 2800mm under some very good seeing conditions.
