Description

The image is however very difficult as the sky I work from is a very humid Bortle 9+ and the exposure possibilities are limited by the live stacking system used. Despite this the Blazar has emerged quite well and also some hints of the galaxy S0 that hosts it.
The instrument used, a 12.5 cm app refractor and the CLS filter are not the best for this type of shooting which would require at least a 20 cm. with infrared filter but I'm happy. Almost no processing so as not to introduce artifacts.
Many little and fain galaxies visible in the field.
