Description

So here is the second presentable image from the third night with the triple rig. I just posted the one from the Samyang 135. Due to clouds moving around I only got 18 exposures with the 5" refractor and of course this is an object that could benefit from some Ha data, which I may collect one of these nights.

After the image was plate solved in Astrobin I realized that it also contains the hidden galaxy IC2005 which apparently shines strongly enough to penetrate the red nebulosity
