About this image

To set the ball going with Callum's Monthly Challenge, here's one I prepared earlier on a moonlit night last year. Its a nice object with quite a pretty sprinkling of stars.

Ideally, it should not have been imaged with x2 binning, but it seemed to work well enough.

Beyond the usual, dark and flat processing, I did apply a small amount of DDP processing to it, but not much. Well worth tracking down and theres even a tiny background galaxy as well.
