About this image

I was observing M33 with the VX14 and decided to take an image for my records using the 190mm maksutov newtonian. It wasn’t ideally placed but I grabbed the opportunity whilst the sky was actually clear.Its amazing the detail which can be captured in such a short single exposure in less than ideal conditions.
