Description

Imaged over the course of three nights in January and February of 2024.  This object is very dim (a photographic magnitude of 15.2)!  So dim that I could not see any hint of the object in single 5-min. subs.  Then, even after 15 hours of data collection, the SNR still wasn't great so it was tough to process.
