Some southern favourites

Finally got some clear weekend weather. Brushed the dust of the camera and scope and had a go at a few well known objects. All are unguided taken from our club site near Mornington Vic.

With more colour

Nice work John!
Omega Centauri is one hell of a cluster.

Hi John,

I hope all is well down south. I should say down under don't want to give out the wrong impression I'm a married man after all. I love your images I would love to see the sky there it must be very weird for you seeing Orion upside down. If I ever get brave and get on a plane for that long without crying like a 2 year old.:whistle:

Great shots John,

Takes me back to December.

Michael.

As Carl was saying "down under" but I hope ye were not under water recently? Beautiful images there, you are at the envy of all Irish astronomers being under southern skies with such beauties like the Jewel Box, M22,Omega Centauri and of course the southern Milky way which i hear end to end is spectacular?
