2 globulars on Norma/Lupus border

Hi all
On one of the chilliest nights this winter I went for 2 globulars that fit in the one frame. NGC 5927 and fainter 5946. Theres an uncharted dark nebula top right.

19x5 mins ISO200, uv/ir filter, mpcc coma corrector, modded 350d, 6 inch f3.6 "cometracker" SN. Hand guided. 8 degrees ambient. Dark frames were just that, very dark with vrtually no thermal noise. Seeing was excellent too!

The freezer suit came in very handy!
