About this image

Imaged as part of the Deep Sky Section challenge for August 2025, over two nights of the 9th and 10th August.

Taken with a Seestar S50 using the built-in dual band (LP) filter 

Extra credit is given to my wife Jeanette who acted as Night Assistant and set the scope up each night, as I had broken my arm and was not allowed to lift anything heavier then a cup of tea.
