Cluster's Last Stand!

Sunday night was lovely but it was a school night so could only do a couple of hours. Some clusters here I think I labelled them correctly-M6,M7 and M22.
Usual Meade 80mm refractor, PHD, 350D, stacked in DSS and PP in StarTools.
ISO 800 45-80 sec exp's.
Cheers
Graham

That's a nice selection Graham. You've been shooting quite the collection of objects lately - nice to see you really got the bug!

I noticed you have some slight star elongation towards the edges (And I'm nitpicking here - it's really a minor thing!). You might want to try ST's Lens module with a 'Curvature Linked' setting of around 140% to flatten your field again.

Again, really nice work - keep it up!

Cheers,

Thanks chaps-
Irwin -I have noticed that and thought I might have to get a coma corrector but will try that in StarTools tonight when I get home (if it's cloudy!)
