Makes a nice change to see something a bit different. :)

 

And you didn't have to get cold or pack away all the gear after. :thumbsup:

 

Looking forward to more of these Phil.

Cheers chaps.

 

Just found the Fits files on their server so having fun messing with those at the moment. Typical though, my stacking and processing software Images plus is out of date and wont open the newer FITS files :facepalm: so may have to upgrade that side of things later but Fits liberator works with the new fits and I can convert to Tiff with it.

That January date was my last time out too. Thats 6 weeks of crap weather by my reckoning.

 

Looking forward to more Phil.

Could you maybe do Omega Cent at some point....? The globular to end all globulars ??

Ta guys

The Omega Cent is one on my list Rob. I have done R Tucanae in the past as well so I would like to revisit that properly this time.

Just had a play with the 47 Tucanae

 

Slightly better. I remember this was done with a gibbous moon up (to get the moon discount) and I had to wait for 47 Tuc to clear the observatory walls, hence it was washed out and a bit poor.
