Description

This object really doesn't need a description from me.

However i'll talk about the reason it exists in my 'stream'.

I have just got a CCD camera and as I scanned the sky for a likely target this 'came into view' - an easy spottable test target so hence the image you see.

Strangely enough the 'processing' is what always gets me and it did, so hence my first foray into Monochrome imaging with me new CCD is what you see above.

The Acquisition details are :Ha 12 180s X 10, Lum 120s X 10 and RGB 10 X 60s (Binned).
