My FSQ106 has been in moth-balls for way too long...so I spent most of the afternoon switching optics, re-balancing the mount, finding adapters, then finding it wouldn't focus unless I used *different* adapters
and so it went.....as did the beautiful blue-sky day...so I watched the storms for a time....
Anyway, that's not my point.
Sometimes, things just work. No square/triangular/oblong stars here.
5 minutes of exposure time within a cloud break can often warm the (astro-imaging) soul.
Sure there are deeper/more colourful Omega's out there....but teeny pristine stellar gems over such a vast field are rare birds. (this full-res view was cropped 50% to keep it web friendly)
So what am I on about?

P.S.
No stars were sharpened, de-convolved, reshaped or injured after the exposure. Soothing gamma only applied.
