Description

This is my first image of 2021 and my first DSO since Aug 2020. It is also the first time I've imaged this target for 6 years and the first time with a mono CCD camera and LRGB filters. I had a lot of issues with poor seeing, not helped by me forgetting to turn on the dew straps during 2 sessions, so it took me several nights over a couple of weeks to collect even this limited data. Still it was good to be imaging a DSO again after a long hiatus whilst I concentrated on the 2020 Mars apparition.
