Description

This was intended as a quick test of new to me SW Esprit 100 telescope for imaging bright broad band targets.
In my mind, the test was very successful even though this target has very wide dynamic range.
Another challenge is that I was imaging from my bortle 7 home.
Took me a while to process it, but considering short exposure and high level of LP, I am fairly happy.
