About this image

Having seen Grant's image of NGC6946 and read his comment 'Next stop Borisov's "Is it really there?" nebula.' I thought I'd give it a go, it was also only a short hop from where I was pointing anyway. It took a while to sort out my framing so lost valuable 30 mins correcting that, finally centering and plate solving on GSC 4261:77. Only 27 minutes of data before the clouds rolled in and stopped play.
This image is a crop of the final result so I have North Up and East Left. I hope to add a camera rotator soon to help with orientation.
