Description

Neat to me that nothing gets platesolved here (as far as objects)!

J2000

RA: 15h 25m 55.24s

DEC: 5d 54' 9"

(you can paste the above in World Wide Telescope or Search|Position in Stellarium)

The coordinates above will be the "orange star" near the center of the cross, but I believe one of the nearest stars along the cross is cataloged as HIP75537 . I thought this was an interesting arrangement. Unfortunately I had some dew or haze that made it difficult to pull out any color.

There are a number of "faint fuzzy" galaxies within the frame, one of the more prominent being top right of the center "cross" of stars (cataloged as SDSS 587736547387506951)

RevB is based on 180"x41 frames collected over two nights (ASI1600MC-C using 75 gain/10 offset at 0degC target temperature).
