Thanks mate! When we get home I'll download it and have a play
If the weather holds tonight, I'll try and do darks/flats/bias frames as well.

Thanks! I thought about the Megellanic clouds last night. There's a lighthouse nearby though that's really blowing bright lights into my frame. If I have time, I'll swing by the south side and aim for the large Magellanic cloud before moonrise.

For the Carina Nebula will 100mm focal length be okay?
