Thanks Kev, I don't have much data and as soon as I posted here I saw some
nice images that had lots of data so mine is not the best. The magnitude is
around 5.5 I think. It is supposedly naked...

I got some clearing Saturday night so I went for it. There was some high

I use a baader. I don't know if the Lumicon is better or the TeleVue or the
Baader. Any thoughts? The alignment might be off just a tad to make the
elongated star in the corner. The sensitivity...

I finally got to take my new (to Me) 8" f/4 Newtonian out under some clear dark skies. Here in MI we get perpetual cloudiness through out the colder seasons because of lake MI, so this was a treat. ...

ASTRO: UGC 1810 and UGC 1813 (Arp 273)
A SCT working @ f/5.1! I am thinking about trading my C-11 for a 10" ARC.
I would like a 12" but the G-11 might whine a little with the extra weight.
Nice image BTW. I like the star...

ASTRO: M56
The long focal length of Your 14" makes quick work resolving it into stars.
I took a shot a few years ago of M56 on film and it looked like a small
unresolved blob of stars.

Thanks!, I used a Canon 70mm - 200mm f/4 Zoom. I set it at 135mm and I
stopped it down to f/4.5 to get some spikes around the brightest stars.

Interesting object. Looks like you got some detail which look like star
forming regions and some nebula or HII regions.
