I'd bet the burren doesnt seem so far away now, we were up there 2 weeks ago, went to the lake nearby to get out of the wind, was a good night.
Keep up the imaging, have you seen the coalsack yet ?

Actually, I find 47 Tucanae much more impressive visually. Its a bit smaller but brighter and easier to resolve.

Interesting, why is that? I would have thought the brighter/bigger would be better in the eyepiece ?johnomahony wrote: Actually, I find 47 Tucanae much more impressive visually. Its a bit smaller but brighter and easier to resolve.

The southern cross image is great, is that how the sky looks from a dark site?
