That sounds great Brent, those small scopes can detect quite a bit. I started out with a 60mm in suburban skies, albeit in the northern hemisphere, and it was great fun.
And the actual hunt for these faint smudges is awesome, I enjoy it very much each time. Goto is not for me I think, I appreciate the effort and reward that comes with hunting one's prey
I was out imaging yesterday too. No time for processing yet as we seem to head into yet another brilliant night. Can't complain about that
