Description

Taken as a gap filler while waiting for the main target to rise high enough, I ran a quick series of 30s exposures at zero gain to minimize star clipping, and preseve colors.

Quite tough processing - usually the stars are only the padding for the DSO. Now if the main course is missing, how to properly present it? I hope I found a fair way...

Peepers might spot the green disk of Abell 4, a tiny (22") PN towards the left side of the image.
