About this image

This is a lovely part of the sky and I had every intention of taking a deep image of it to show it in all its glory, however of the 70, 1 minute subs only 7 stack in DSS – too much cloud in the rest I think – although I haven’t given up fully yet – as a result the image is a bit disappointing and I’ll have to try it again next year! For those that know their sky you should also be able to spot M27 and M71 as well.

Brocchi’s cluster and Tarazed’s colour really stand out. David
