About this image

Due to an error on my part in using the correct RA/Dec co-ordinate (Doh) this object was only just caught in the FOV of the Seestar. 3 hours of data and the use of 2x drizzle has produced some surprising detail for a smart telescope.

I think that I will target some more ARP objects to see what is possible.
