Another Tuc

Haven't posted an image here before so here is one from a couple of weeks ago. Sorry for the common object but I was writing a review of Chris Venter's software DSLRFocus and needed an easy object for the review. I will post that shortly.
Ths scope is a 14" Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain with XLT coatings on a CGE mount, the camera is a 300D and the exposure was about 15 minutes at 30 seconds each.

Great shot Paul
I enjoyed great views of 47Tuc last night.
The 12" made the difference, the central region was like a bowl of sparkling jewels !

Excellent shot Paul!

Look forward to the review of DSLRFocus, too.. If you'd like, please send it to me for inclusion on the website.

Nice shot Paul,

Dont you love that DSLR Focus....I am only using 10% of what the program can do but love how I can control all my timed long exposures with mirror lock on instead of the 30second max canon software allows.

Beautiful shot Paul.

I agree with Striker, DSLR Focus is a must.
