About this image

That's a really nice image Peter. But how big is this object? Also, I'm not familiar with the Dr24 designation...where is it...RA and Dec would be useful!

Similarly for your previous image, Alv3, what is the field of view and location???

Thanks,

Mike.

Thanks for the links, they are very useful and give all the information I was after. Maybe include them with all your future images?

Thanks again, very impressive work!!!
