Great, now I need to figure out which other 30 images I must take to finish Messier 70. Btw, apart from Messier 30, shouldn't one also complete the Messier 40? Anyway, this is a really nice programme and I like it. I must hope for clear skies and get started.

Thanks Andy. I have pinned images of 40 Messier objects, so basically I need to capture another 30 to add to the 40, is this correct?
