Description

A detailed close-up of this galaxy.

The star shape is not perfect, but the galaxy details are ok

I checked the optics later for pinched optics, as the stars are a bit triangular. However a star-test with an artifical star only revealed a slight de-centering (see www.drogenberg.be)

Guess the EQ8 was with the 8x50 not able to track perfectly @ 2700 focal length!
