I'm posting regardless of quality.

Hi,
Last night was the first time in two months I have had my scope out basically due to the prolonged wet season on the sunshine coast. I shot these using my W/O Flt 110 and Canon 400d at ISO 800. It was a great night just to be out there. All guided with PHD and stacked in DSS and photoshop.

1. Omega Centauri - This is a stack of a single 2,3,4,and 7 min shot.
2. Omega Centauri - I layered a single 2min on top of single 7 min and blurrred out centre so to speak to get more outside stars while hopefully keeping core stars resolved.
3. Eta Carina - 8 x 4 min 40 sec lights with 5 darks
4. M 104 cropped - 4 x 7 min 40 sec lights with 3 darks
5. Leo Triplet - 3 x 8 min lights and 3 darks

A lot of noise but it was great to be out again.
