Description

Last year I started to go for the cosmic horseshoe. The outcome was very weak, barely visible!

Now I took additional 2 Hrs of intergration time at good seeing conditions and reprocessed the data from last year together with the new data,
All in all I do have now 385 min of total integration time.

This time the Cosmic Horseshoe is still weak, but clearly visible and to my surprise the central galaxy can be seen in its red color.

For comparison I put the Hubble picture beside my one. The structure is weak but similar looking in the middle of the field of view.

Last years picture can be found there:
