Description

Data taken  in 3 nights over the August 2022 new moon from B2 skies in the mountains  for the Sunshine Coast  QLD.  32 x 60 sec   &  51 x 180 sec integration = 3hrs 5 min . With the camera returned  from having  the board replaced I neglected to have a look at the chip which had 2 noticeable bits of plastic etc on it . As such and for unknown reasons the flats did not remove the dark blobs. So a weeks worth of post processing has brought what I hope is a reasonable rendition for my first attempt at this awesome galaxy cluster. I'd like to add HA in the future.  Awe and wonder Folks
