Clear skies again last night on the coast. Transparency was about 6-8/ 10 (got better as the night went on) Seeing was pretty poor again, only about average 5-7/10 again improving as the night went on. Fair bit of sky glow because of the transparency.
First shot is M4 with ngc6144 near Antares. 5X180 sec @ ISO800
Very nice shots again Paul ! I love that line of stars through M4 and that wide field shot of M7 looks great. oh looks like you grabbed that other glob near by.
Very nice Paul. I too noticed that transparency has not been the best the past two nights. Hopefully it will be better tonight since it is supposed to rain tomorrow arvo and I need my DSO fix for the weekend
Oh its nice tonight alright Darren. That's why the bowls club next door have their lights on
Last night was a good mag 4.5 - 5 at least (At 2:00 am at least ) Tonight I'm flat out making out mag 3 to 3.5. Can just make out gamma musca at 3.8 and that's 180degrees from the lights.

top shots once again Paul....was going to give tonite a miss because of the cold and working in freezers all week but results like yours are a perfect motivation to get out there
