I've been into astronomy since 2009 and its been a roller-coaster ride to get where I am now. Still a lot of things I need to learn and fix but I'm getting there slowly. Nothing special about this image I basically pointed at a random spot and took a few images and ran astrometry to get the star details.
Yugant - interesting facts...
Have you misaligned the subs somehow? it seems every bright star in the image has a 'shadow star' just below it, as if a frame is out of alignment with the others...
