Thanks JJ. It was fun rediscovering the potential of the TEC scope after using the larger Planewave a lot over the last few months. The TEC can reach quite deep as well.

Again, I am rushing to the Star Atlas to see where it is.
So much detail and such a variety of objects, it's like 50 photos in one!
Thank you.
Ross.

It is a wonderful collection of unusual images. Seeing was just superb under a stunningly clear sky. My dark site just delivers the good skies night after night so am I very lucky there. A couple of nights it came over totally cloudy after sunset. By 9:30/10pm it was totally clear horizon to horizon. It does this sort of thing often. Its like anticloud type environment there at night. For it to be cloudy it really needs to be cloudy.

Thanks David. It did take a bit of work to keep the image clean.
It was also taken at -45C. The FLI camera can really cool down hard.

Thanks for sharing, this image is in favourite list of deep-sky images.

Thanks Alex. It was largely unkown to me until the other night. It makes you wonder how many things there are that are interesting in the night sky. There seems to be no shortage.
