Description

I know everybody has this image. In my defense this dataset was a test image for my new camera.  It has been sitting around in my hard drive totally forgotten.  I only had a short window of opportunity to image this object before losing to an Oak tree and the light dome.  Since there was only a limited amount of sky time invested it got ignored.  I was bored today so I took a look at it and I'm glad I did.

The imaged is in LRGB with photometrically calibrated stars.
