Hi all
I used an unexpectidly clear sky to get a deep image (2 hours worth)of this unusual object.
12x10 mins iso400. LPS filter, MPCC coma corrector. Modded 350D, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Off axis hand guided as usual. Some wind buffeting earlier in the run but no subs needed to be rejected. The 23 year old Sampson mount was tracking okay
I had to use masking similar to what Id use for M42 to preserve bright detail from saturating while bringing out fainter detail.
