About this image

This is a crop of a larger image.

For clarity, NGC404 is the Dwarf Lenticular Galaxy visible to the bottom right of Mirach.

Not the flare at the bottom left.

Also visible is Galaxy PGC 3088484 (Upper right).

Blustery conditions and despite using a SynGuider (Exposure 8ms) led to an erroneous set of image data.

High thin cloud meant seeing was not good, and a large bloom surrounded Mirach.
