Description

Just about everything conspired against me for this image. Seeing was very poor. This is probably the trickiest target for me to process due to a staggering dynamic range. I was able to pick up a bit of the outer lobes, and the spiral galaxy is clearly visible (IC 1296). Not sure how to image this target. 20 sec subs at F10 blow out the ring in a few hours.
