Description

Not a great night, and no great data either, but this is what it is. 6 x 600s each for LRGB.
This is one of the brightest radio sources in the sky, it is regularly used as a source for for calibrating radio telescopes.
There is also some nice H-Alpha emission in this region and lots and lots of foreground stars... This is a crop, version D shows the complete  field.
Unfortunately, guiding went bad due to clouds, and probably too many guide stars popping in and out of view.

Version E is with new Luminance, the stars are round now, but the seeing wasn't great. Version F is the full field.
