Like so many others I thought I would produce an image of this very well imaged object.

The last time I had a go at this I used my TSA102. This time I had a go with the RC12.

I have been having issues with my camera and so the image is cropped. Subs were 30 minutes long and the image contains a total integration time of 26 hours. In retrospect I should have done longer subs still as the faint outer regions hardly even showed up. I would also like to have a lot more data to help smooth the background out a little.
