I imaged 9th magnitude Pallas this morning. Pallas is currently near Rigel and is moving close to the Orion Nebula.

I imaged this field a few days previously and found the interloper in this morning image.

I did strike problems with this. Although the image were taken under difficult conditions with clouds and the sky having developed a shade of pink before the clouds cleared enough for my shots; this was not the problem.

When I came to process the images, they were way, way too large for me to reduce the entire image down to an acceptable number of bits for display. I do not understand why. I ended up cropping the image and that now only shows a small part of my original photo.

I have much to learn ...
