Description

I started capturing data for this target in April 2018, collecting a couple of hours luminence, but then forgot about it, until I started on it again a few weeks ago. Over the past few weeks I've gradually added some RGB data, as when the sky conditions allowed, then when processing it I discovered that the L data was pretty poor, so discarded a lot of it, with even what was left having some pretty poor star shapes. Maybe that's why I never finished in 2018, but I can't recall that far back..!! Anyway, it's a pretty boring target that I wanted to complete for my personal Messier list, for which it will do, rather than shooting the L data again.
