Description

Playing around on a moon lit partly cloudy night. I was testing out some Scripts from my Friend Ken, this object sits low in my southern sky-toward the Boston light dome. Very little integration time, only 13x180s. I was not going to process it but thought I'd try my hand at crappy data just for kicks and practice. Given the limitations, I'm actually quite surprised the object is even visible!

Image was taken with a small Williams optics refractor and unguided. No motorized focuser so the focus became soft as the night cooled.

thanks for looking!
