Description

Went back to one of my favorite objects to view.

Now one year later into the hobby of AP.

Looks quite a bit different from my image of this one year ago.

Shot with Star 71, and you can see the diffraction spikes.

Just did a quick and dirty processing job in Pixinsight. If the weather permits, I plan on getting 2-3x more data, and can then really get sophisticated with the processing
