About this image

This is one of several transient targets that unfortunately for me either get blocked by my own observatory wall or my house (in this instance), so my opportunity for imaging the target once it is truly dark is a little limited. This is a stack of just 10x300seconds as I had to spend time on two other targets first that were obstructed a little earlier in the evening!
