About this image

Live stacks aligned, stacked and processed using Affinity Photo. Unprocessed image was rather lacking in colour. Cropping necessary due to field rotation despite attempts to reduce this by rotating camera. 17.5 magnitude galaxy PGC 1654945 just visible at extreme right of image 1/4 of the way down from the top right corner.
