Hi Here's an image of the Sculptor globular cluster NGC 288, another one I've never imaged before. Because of the distance from the galactic plane there are...
... Yep this and the Skull are both lovely images Steve, must be hard spending so much clear sky time on less well known and small targets but it is a good...
Here is an image I took last weekend from Wiruna - the dark sky site of ASNSW. I wanted to go much deeper over the two days but I lost a number of subs (and...
