Description

This target is pretty low in the sky for me but I have been wanting to image it for a year or 2 so I gave it a shot to see what I could do. This was after the moon set in bortle 3/4 skies with a forecasted below average seeing. I used a cheap old Canon I got for next to nothing and bought basically the least expensive lens I could on Amazon. I stopped it down to f/3.5 and set the camera to ISO1600.
