Astrophotography Northern NSW with WO GT71

/

Was looking forward to imaging around Scorpius but with a half moon just off Antares had to go to plan B. Waited until the moon had almost set then pointed south to the rising SMC and LMC. Images captured with ToupTek IMX571 camera using SharpCap Live Stack and 15 second subs. The polar alignment error was around 1 minute so no guiding was used with the RST135E mount. Each individual FITS was processed in Siril (Background extraction, StarNet, green removal).
