William Optics 80mm f/6.9 ZenithStar Fluorite Doublet Apo -> ZWO ASI585MC Pro
214x10s shots
fighting the moon and wet skies
Much better than my attempt 20 years ago. Although if you pixel peep you may notice the radial elongation of the stars in the left hand side of the image which show me that I need to correct a physical tilt in the system. I'll have to look into that.

Orion 9.25 SCT -> Digital Rebel XT
12x45s shots at ISO 800 (Dark Applied)
Really wet conditions and tracking wasn't the best so few good shots to use.
I think I missed this one as it seems a bit flat. Globulars should take on more of a 3D look.
