I've been pointing my FSQ at the Grus Quartet for the hell of it, because there's a few swirlies in there, too.

Well done!

Thanks Rick, yes well...I would like a 32"at Cerre Tololo though ...in the meantime 12"at F3.8 with 4.5 micron pixels will have to do

Must look at that on a proper screen whilst sitting in a sauna😎
Nice one
Watch the screen doesn't melt in the sauna
