The galaxy is clearly visible and not to be confused as a light flare from the relatively bright star.

Thanks Steve- yes my initial thought was that this was flaring at the edge of my fov (which you can see is a bit of an issue as I’m over the max image circle for the 0.63x celestron reducer with the 2600mc) but when I realised what it was I kept it in there for completeness instead of cropping. And a couple of other interesting background galaxies that I’m happy to have captured there too. It’s always exciting to see what comes out in the final integration as none of these smaller objects are visible until you put it all together!
Cheers mate
