Thats a very nice shot indeed DeeBee. Nice one mate!

Now when are you gonna get that autoguider sorted and then you can start doing some serious kick ass stuff.

You're previous practice runs are really paying off Dave, well done. Can't wait till you start trying out more deep sky pbjects and seeing what you can get from it.

Seanie.

Looks to me like it was done with autoguiding! Nice shot David, the colour of the red star in the centre is striking, this is a lovely cluster, I'll try and have a go myself sometime

Keith..

Yes, that red central star is very striking, good stuff Dave.

Thanks guys

It was a beautifully clear night last night so i just couldnt resist taking out the scope to see what was up there. As m57 was too close to the zenith I looked around for another target that would be well placed and just stopped on this one.

Makes staying up late all worth it when you get such wild colours as that ruby red star. (Need to get sorted out with flat frames soon though to reduce some of the noise further :lol: )
