About this image

The night of 30th September - 1st October started with cloud and rain but a clear patch developed for a couple of hours before the cloud returned, giving me time for a brief session on Mars before attempting this deep sky target, which was almost overhead by then. I managed 10x300seconds before the cloud returned. Flats and darks were subtracted.
