The Antannae Galaxies with 5DH

Hi all
last night I had a go at the Antannae Galaxies, there was some moon and high cloud but kept going anyway, after 70 mins the cloud got so thick the guidestar dissapeared. The chip is big enough that I almost fitted in NGC 4027 at top left. Next opportunity without a moon I will re image it for longer and fit both objects in.
7x10 mins ISO200. 5DH MPCC coma corrector, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian.
Some moonlight got into the tube so the flatfielding wasnt fully accurate.
