Hi Bert,

Cheers,
Duncan

Great image Bert! What is that object called?

Great one Bert!! The Doodad show up very clearly.
We had a discussion on the Doodad last year in one of the forums, I thought Eric was pulling my leg with that name, but its fair dinkum.

I looked it up and it is known as Doodad. Ya learn something new every day.

Outstanding - I've never seen this object (or non-object) imaged before

Let's give him his full name - de old "Dark Doodad"! See page 50 Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas.

Nice capture, Bert and great FOV, capturing the two globulars as well.

Great in the binos, folks, under dark skies.

Edit - downloaded the full res image - that is just astounding, Bert - it's full of STARS! Apologies that the attached screen shot doesn't do it justice, but I hope it convinces people to download that 9MBytes and forget your download limit!!
