Description

With a full Moon out and being galaxy season, there aren't too many narrowband targets to work on. In 50 years of doing astronomy, not once had I ever pointed an eyepiece at this much less a camera. It's not a flashy nebula but it does have structure and is surprisingly very bright.

I'm glad I finally gave it a chance.
