Description

Focal length 300 mm, f5.6 Canon 70-300 mm Zoom. This was an Oops. I was having problems getting my widefield setup aligned....there is no finder to roughly get started in getting the mount aligned but the cluster looked interesting so I shot it anyway and did a plate-solve to figure out what it was.
