| Notes: |
Processing: Image acquisition with Canon EOS Utility. Dark frame calibration, align, and combine in ImagesPlus 2.8. Levels, curves, unsharp mask, and resizing in Photoshop.
Seeing conditions were poor and the image suffers from some star elongation on the left side (something was probably not square with the optics).
