Description

Well it has been over a month since I last got a break in the weather and typically this image was photographed, like the others to be posted shortly, during a very bright moon, just under full. Why does the weather often clear during the end of the moon's cycle!? Due to the lack of imaging opportunities I have been taking two objects per night where possible - not ideal but I have little choice. The weather has now gone bad again! Anyway, I have never imaged this object before using my reflector, and I am pleased with the result. That said, I am not entirely happy with my processing - I am not quite sure what I am trying to achieve from the data, but I do not know what else to do - new skills are needed. I took 60 subs at 4 minutes long each, 4 hours in total.

Thanks everybody!
