Description

This one fascinated me because it's had almost 10 supernova in the last 60 years. But when I got the final data, I was a bit underwhelmed. Plenty of subs and good duration, but maybe I need more time on this object to see more details. My guiding was very good (within 1/2 pixel) so I was hoping for more.

Edit 10/20/15: Reprocessed my original data using PixInsight. The first revision was much too gold in color, and using PI I was able to pull out the colors much better.
