Caldwell 72

I bet that had youse thinking. Yes it's NGC55. Not as sharp as Fernando's, but it's my personal best to date. Only 7 million light years away, it's just around the corner.

A compilation of 261 minutes with various sub lengths, taken over 3 nights. Some manually guided, some with PHD. Mizar 68mm guidescope. Sub lengths from 2 - 5 minutes. Skywatcher Black Diamond ED100 at F9, HEQ5 pro, Pentax K-5.
