About this image

This is the result of two frustrating evenings of imaging battling with dodgy intermittent cloud cover. Only 104 minutes of useful data was obtained which made processing difficult. I've kept the files so hopefully I can add to in the future!! Ideally, I'd like a minimum of 4 hours for an object like this.

But I'm not displeased as this is the first successful outing with the WO GT 71 scope.
