About this image

It was starting to get lower in the sky now and the seeing was poor anyway, so the star images were not great.

Also, unfortunately, one of the diffraction spikes generated by the secondary mirror's spider support crosses part of the nebula that is known to vary. But the image is still worthwhile.

At least you can rely on Hind's nebula and Hubble's when McNeil's, Gulbudaghian and Borisov's nebulae are quiet.

Grant:

Looks like you have also captured (749) Malzovia at V16.6.

Thanks Tim. Was curious as to which one it was, but it was still only half way up my TO DO list. :)
