Description

After several weeks of cloudy skies and/or bright moonlight, finally the opportunity presented itself, though I had no specific target in mind as I took the rig outside and set it up and polar aligned. Then the idea struck me: "What's the closest DSO to the Antisolar point that'll fit my FOV?" hence this target.
