Southern Pleiades & NGC 3532 Cluster

I managed to take 2 open cluster images tonight before the dragon come out and said thats 4 night's in a row with the telescope....not happy Jan.

Both images taken from my house Tingalpa Brisbane.

Taken with the 20DA on the ED80 and guided through the C11 so their should be nil star trails as I was imaging at 600mm and autoguiding at 1800mm

No darks or flats..just some bias frames in processing

Both images 5 x 2 minutes ISO 800
Baader UHC-s Filter used.

Fishing line used for Defraction spikes..what can I say...I like the look.

Yes the diffraction spikes look good, kind of like the UK Schmidt telescope look.
