About this image

I've been so busy of late doing other things, and I knew I had issues to attend to with my RC telescope, so I've been delaying going out to do anything. Callum's Object of the Month challenge got me going, so I went out last night, sorted a few issues and captured this as test image.

The image is a 100% crop from the original and shows what detail I can capture with a 10" scope at F/8. I'll post the wider field image separately.
