The weather pattern in SE Australia has not been very favorable for imaging for some time. My last
3 trips to my dark site (a 3.5 hour trip each way) has lead to only 1 clear night out of 11.
Anyway enough of the moaning - here is NGC6188 using a TEC180mm FL and Apogee U16M camera, Apogee filterwheel, Baader filters and Tak NJP mount (a bit small for the large TEC scope).
5 Hours and 30 minutes HaLRGB 120 30 60 60 60, good seeing, no wind, totally clear (yah!) and no light pollution, cold (at least for Australia 3C).
