Description

Love this cluster in Antlia.  Tried it in 2021 with the 180Mak focused on NGC3312, but this year wanted a more expansive view with the 10" Newt. 
Shot over 8 nights I had to scrap 3 nights, two due to a setup error and one with the incorrect acquisition.  In the end after culling ended up with 20hrs of data. 

GSO 10"; CF double spider; low weight secondary holder, modified mirror cell;  ASI294MC-P; Baader UV/IR filter.  Stacked and calibrated in APP
