About this image

Captured over several nights in April. Frustratingly, the target reached culmination shortly after starting imaging each evening, so quite a few meridian flips. My cabling is not tidy enough for an auto-flip!

I spotted this galaxy on cdc whilst targeting comet 2019 Y4, noting its relatively large apparent size. It is quite close to the celestial pole and the first ten subs were trashed by slight trailing. A long overdue check of polar alignment rectified that problem.
