NGC 4755 - Jewel Box

I got home from work on Sunday night and it looked fairly clear so I set the scope up but by the time I had it all ready to go cloud started coming in but it was patchy so I managed to get a few frames off.
I was aiming for a heap like my Centaurus glob shot but the cloud wouldn't allow it.

32 x 2 minute plus darks
Iso 800
350D with MPCC

A hi res can be seen here

I don't like the crop so much, but the full wider field view is very nice with it's colour and composition.

A very nice rendition of the Jewel Box Vash. Good star colour, nicely processed and the tracking looks spot on.

Liked your Omega also by the way

Nice work Ashley. The wide field image is the favourite of the two. Pleasing display of star colours. Well done.

thankss for all the kind words, I'm finally happy with the images I'm producing too, I wasn't realy happy with the crop myself but I thought I'd just throw it in anyway, I'll be heading down to get them printed out soon to show people at work etc.

Can't wait for my next day off and the next target.
