About this image

At the 4th attempt I finally got enough data to combine with a previous night and get something half decent - but only half. Bad seeing, Moonlight, a software problem, focuser. Things seem to queue up to thwart this observation but it is an object worth imaging. I should revisit but probably won't - its been too frustrating in a season with abysmal skies.

Better late than never.
