Thanks John, yes it is quite fascinating what is visible with quite basic equipment.

I've got a couple of darksites picked up in the Waitakeres I will use when the weather allows. Only a half hour drive from Mt Albert so looking forward to seeing more deep sky one day soon.

Thank you very much Brent Where about in the Waitakeres do you go - if it's not a secret?

Would you possibly know from your experience in star hoping if I'm aiming at the right area?

thanks

Hi Frank, I'm afraid I can't recognise the field - I checked in Starry Night and that distinctive 'double star' you've got in the upper right doesn't seem to appear near Abell 2667. What's the FOV in your image?
