About this image

TL:DR - No obvious change in 12 months. NGC1555 it ain't

Shamefully, my only picture of Thomme's (allegedly) variable nebula in 12 months. The old 114mm wasn't really a good choice for it but the 300mm is better suited and will be better still once I sort out the collimation, back focus and coma corrector. Hopefully, soon my stars will stop being so blobby.
