A touch more contrast Dave and the Coal Sack will pop out.
Nice image and good detail.

Was a good night at the park, very chilly and was great to get the old star hopping skills going and visually catch some galaxies with the Society 12 inch, a damm nice scope. Good detail in the coalsack too

One minute subs is good ... How did you polar align?

I just plonked it roughly south and got 30 sec images easily but at 18 mm focal length
At 55 mm I had to do a drift align

Or do you have the polar scope?

yeah it was good to muck about - need a dew strap to point vertical though

yeah will revisit this with a view for better framing but first i need to get a nifty 50 as i don't own one - i borrowed it from Scott Alder

[Sirius1066 (Earl)]

Great shot Dave

Love Omega Centauri shining brightly there on the edge of the FOV and the Jewel Box is quite bright too.
