About this image

Not the most photogenic one this, because its completely edge on (hence nickname) but it was a challenge. 4hrs over 2 sessions (4/5 July) I was a bit disappointed that the dust lane detail was not better rendered; I could blame it on poor seeing - or more likely my failure to monitor focus... Acquired with Voyager, processed in PI.
