First attempt at M5 - first image at new house

Hi!

Just moved to the next suburb in Canberra. The new place has a great courtyard for astronomy (but isn't very even).

Here is the first image. It still needs more processing (my wife is too busy with the move to process it atm ).

I find it tricky balancing exposure times for globs so that the core is still nice.

Scope: 9.25" SCT
Mount: CGEM
Camera: ATIK 320E
Guiding: 80mm with QHY5 and using PHD
Stacking: AstroArt
Exposures: 70 x 30 sec plus darks + bias
