Description

Not sure why this is called the "Phantom" galaxy, but does look spooky in the recent JWST image.  

With this image I attempted many short (30-second) subs, in order to avoid over saturation. I'm not sure I needed to do that, but the image isn't too bad. At the very least, the short subs helped during some periods of strong wind.

Many thanks to rc-astro.com and BlurXTerminator for extracting all those details in my L image.
