Both very nice Peter . What scope and setup are you using ? That OC is always on a very low horizon for me . I captured it once but not a very good shot .

Thanks Celestron
SW ED80
Only RA and Dec motors atm. I feel the need for a guide scope and better tracking gear. But it has to wait
Surprised I got these before the dew settled

Yep, looking really good! You may want to check out an off axis guider and a guide camera instead of a guide scope. Also look at annies actions, gives you great noise and star control during processing. My only criticism is to watch your exposure and star color on omega centauri, there is alot of color in those stars!

thanks Wes
Been advised too that my alpha Centauri probably isn't. More likely I was pointed at Hadar. I'll redo it tonight.
I don't have goto. Just RA and Dec motors for now.
I was thinking a dedicated camera soon with guide ability might be useful
