Description

Continuing to pursue the Astronomical League Dark Sky certificate.

The "Fish on a Platter" is a designated area on the AL dark sky certificate. This is the western edge of B144.

My research indicates that the X-ray source, Cygnus X-1, is in the FOV near the center of the image.

This project is revealing the short-comings of the Pixinsight plate solving. We need more objects included. Thanks for looking.
