Description

Thanks to Obaid Mussabeh for his help

This was captured using a single shot (in JPG), we were trying to look for it at the field using preview shots at the end of the session, but fed up and left as we though it wasn't worth the time to align the mount again to get precise go-to(s). Anyways, when I returned home and started to browse through the pictures, I wanted to know exactly where we were shooting by plate-solving the image. Behold, it was M3 all along, and we though it was just a big star. That tells you how small it is if your going to shot it through a 90mm refractor .
