47 Tucana First Try

Getting the hang of drift alignment so had a go at Tuc 47. 20secs on the DSI and just used digital development in Nebulosity. Quite pleased with the result

Bill that looks real good for your first try at Tucanae.

Can you save it as a larger file in jpeg as the thumbnail will only open up as a very small bmp file.

Nice image there Bill. Tight cluster, well-rounded stars and well resolved quite deep into the center. What scope?

Used the 150x750 Newtonian on the EQ5. Getting focus took a while so will have to finish the hartman mask I started making. I have a 10:1 Crayford for it, but need to make an adapter plate as its for a 233mm tube.
