Description

This image is a "by-catch" of my first clear night at 1600m in Styria in the Austrian Alps - after collecting over 2 hours worth of light of IC 1396, I spontaneously decided to try my new Lacerta 72/432 on this classic just for the fun of it.

It is amazing how much detail can be gathered of this beginner-friendly extra-galactic beauty with just half an hour of exposure with a small scope under clear skies...

The first pic is uncropped, but I felt this classic deserved a crop for easier viewing ;-)
