NGC 6752 (Starfish Cluster)
This cluster is nicknamed the Starfish Cluster. In this image however it's too small to distinguish any meaningful detail to make it look like a starfish.
There is a galaxy in the top left of this image also, however I'm unsure what it's designation is.
Generally I think this is quite a nice wide field view of stars, even though there's no great detail in any one particular object.

NGC 104 (47 Tucanae)
This image shows the well known southern hemisphere globula cluster of 47 Tucanae. The field of view is relatively large being taken through the William Optics Megrez 80 telescope that has a focal length of 480mm.
Guiding isn't perfect and neither were viewing conditions (in fact viewing conditions were quite poor) but it was a good start after a rough run of telescope problems lately.
The Losmandy GM-8, or more to the point the Gemini has been giving me some troubles lately

NGC 6266
Very short exposure time, but surprisingly nice. Part of an all night scripted run where auto guiding failed for most shots, resulting in 17 out of 20 of this image being unusable.

NGC 5139: Omega Centauri
I'm quite happy with this image. There was some trailing problems in a few of the raw images but it doesn't seem to have shown much here in the stacked version.
Fairly nice even brightness etc.
