A Pretty Galactic Cluster

Hi all

NGC 6231 in SCO

First light with the new guidescope setup after it seems like months of clouds.

Galactic Cluster NGC 6231 in the tail of Scorpius.

10 x 90 seconds at ISO 800 (RAW) combine and processed in ImagesPlus 2.75.

Usual Darks, Flats and Bias.

Nothing other than Digital Developement, was only a test image for tracking.

Prime focus of the Tak (f/8) guided with SW ED80 and ST-4.

Cropped and wide field shots with the Unmodded Canon 350D

Cheers

JohnG
