Great stuff, Image looks awesome, good detail on the middle shadow and starting to see detail in the surface.

real nice Sombrero with the CDS1100D and 127ED indeed. That camera is very low thermal noise.

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Nicely done, you captured that difficult target very well!

[Nikolas (Nik)]

Wish I could locate it!!!!!! Tried stellarium it gives an idea but locating it with the scope in the suburbs is gonna be an issue I reckon.

[wasyoungonce (Brendan)]

Nick...what camera control program do you use.

I use APT but BYEOS is just as good. I just take a 2 min sub then re-position scope with APT inbuilt ASCOM interface as required.

From memory I think my guide scope can see it if I push guide exposure to 5s~10s. Generally I don't do this but sometimes just to find dim targets.

will keep those in mind, thanks Brendan, high cloud over melb tonight so no viewing
