Southern globular 47 Tucanae was created by johnomahony
This is my first attempt at imaging this great object and my first autoguiding attempt with the C11 at prime focus (F6.3) using a WO Megrez 72 to guide with a DFK camera. It is only 8 x 2 minute frames as a weather front was moving in.

It actually looks more spectacular through the eyepiece-photos don't do it justice.

Thanks Dave

My C11 makes 47 Tuc look like M13 through your Obsessionator. I can only imagine what 47 Tuc would actually look like through your 20". Going to bed now.... :pinch:
