About this image

Another fascinating object of interest from Callum.

This was a difficult capture. The 75% gibbous Moon produced colourful gradients through each filter, and the imminent arrival of cloud limited sub-frames to 10-12 per filter. This really tested my image-processing skills.

I love the string of mag 16+ stars at the 4 o'clock position, in a line away from NGC7469. The second one out is a galaxy, PGC3974054.
