About this image

Callum's deep sky object of interest for January.

Have yet to experience a clear sky this year, so have reprocessed some data from December 2022. It was a bit of a disaster so has not been added to my album previously. The colour data was all rotated by about 40 degrees, as the filter wheel had slipped without me noticing. The flats did not do a good job and there was horrible gradient to deal with. Hopefully, the sky will clear long enough to have another attempt.
