About this image

This is a bit of a cheat really, as I didn't take this image. I've been helping test the Open University COAST telescope (www.telescope.org) for some time now (replacing the Bradford Robotic Telescope), and as all of my targets are Variable Star related, I thought I'd share this with the BAA as it contains a nice fuzzy blob to make you deep sky observers happy!. I don't spend any time processing these images, so this is pretty much how I downloaded it - without the Supernova ID markers of course. The photometry revealed magnitude 13.156CV.
