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

The Losmandy GM-8, or more to the point the Gemini has been giving me some troubles lately that I've ended up now ironing out. They were related to polar alignment (using the Gemini routines) and tracking.
This image was autoguided using a SkyWatcher 70 x 700 OTA with a Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 together with GuideDog.
