About this image

David Swan's photo was mirror imaged so I've corrected it and added tick marks to identify the nova. Plate solving of the original clearly showed the problem! This sort of thing can happen with remote imaging systems.

I've commented on mirror imaged photos before (by others) without success. Surprised nobody else notices this sort of thing?
