Description

A quick play with the data I collected lastnight of this little gem of an Open Star Cluster, NGC6231. Really happy now with the way the images are looking coming from the scope now, only took 6 years to get it right. Probably would have been sooner if I knew what I was doing.

So this short duration image was captured using Sequence Generator Pro, Auto focusing with Robert Brown's MyFocuserPro2 controller, Auto Guiding, Auto everything Except the Observatory roof, I still have to open that by hand.. BORTLE 6 Skies
