An average NGC 7424 - RGB ADDED

In the spirit of making lemonade from the lemons of poor seeing I whinged about in my last post a month ago, I decided to add RGB to my luminance after all. This is now 16.25 hours of LRGB cropped slightly and reduced to 70% to compensate for seeing induced artefacts.

One thing's certain, while it's quite photogenic, this is tough target - especially when good nights around here are so scarce! Note that the glare at the top right of the full frame is from the yellow 6.7 mag HIP 113240 - just out of frame.

70% Full scale:
