Description

Hi folks, the best I can tell, this is the first published colour image of Bran 72.

Along with resembling a Penguin, there are many interesting features and it looks to me to be a star-forming region. 

I am hoping to continue collecting exposures to improve the image quality, but I thought I would let everyone know it is there, before we lose it for the season. 

The first upload is a drizzled image and the platesolving may not work, so the coordinates are: 07 47 51, -36 09 47

I have made a little blog post on it here: https://saastro.myportfolio.com/bran-72
