Description

"It kind of looks like a snail" was enough feedback for me to image this target. Taken over a lucky stint of a few nights surrounding the full moon, one dedicated to L and one for RGB. The other few nights were for other targets.

I only did flats for luminance, I'm having an issue with my camera where I get strange white circles with harsh black outlines on all my flats. If I unplug and replug, it goes away though. It seems to be a software issue that popped up recently and I couldn't be bothered to capture all the flats.
