Just a few April DSO and clusters

[Thalestris24]

These are taken with my TS APO 80mm and GPCAM3 178M, mount = Heq5. All from April 21st. Not quite first light with the 183M but I've not done much imaging at all this year so far. Captured in SharpCap Pro 3.2, 64 bit. Stacked with a separate master flat in dss, tweaked a bit in Paint.NET

Some subs seem to have artefacts which are probably a flats issue or could be local LP gradients.

Thanks, though my images aren't very good. I've built a Lowspec 2 spectrometer and, if I can get it working, I'll probably just do some spectroscopy instead. Failing that, I'll abandon this hobby altogether.
