Description

I had attempted to image this a few months ago but again, did not get great results.  This time around, I'm super happy with the results!  I only got about 3.5 hours on it, but maybe I'll try to revisit and get some more time on it soon.

I had to throw out a ton of frames though because of guiding problems.  My DEC guiding would periodically get random spikes and I'm honestly not entirely sure why.  It seemed random (unrelated to dithering or anything), almost as if the DEC axis of the telescope just "slipped" out of place.  I'll have to investigate this further...  but thankfully I got a few hours of usable subs!
