At 3:30 am I decided I may as well photograph something so I figured I'd go to a big bright object in an attempt to counter the big bright moon behind me. Bring on NGC 3372.

What has resulted is a dithered non calibrated image with basic stretching and saturation applied. Processing time... Less than 5 minutes
