Description

Abell 12 lies within the glare of Mu Orionis, a quadruple star system. Only a few 60s subs in RGB as this is very low for me. PHD really struggles at this declination, possibly due to the nearby rooftops and winter heating.

Description: 2 years on I gave image B a sharpening and cropped that. As I mentioned in the comments you can make out a small tail on the Pn, almost like a spiral arm, somewhat like Abell 71 has.
