About this image

Single frame as Deep Sky Stacker and Computer seem to have parted ways today,

After several evenings being thwarted by poor sky conditions and unable to ID the Star field 10 th was clear enough to get a fix on Beta Cassiopeia and using the setting circles on the Polaris mount finally find the Nova. Image is a crop of the centre of the frame.
