About this image

This is a tricky target from the UK, reaching a maximum elevation of only 13 deg. From my observatory, M28 skirts the treetops, and poor transparency, light pollution and regular aircraft take-offs from Stansted Airport provide additional challenges.

I'm astonished this came out so well.
