DescriptionHaving captured 6 or so low-lying Messier objects, I had some time so took a shot at this object from the CN Sept 24 challenge. The Seestar did OK in dark skies! I returned to this object about a week later with my EdgeHD 8" for a closeup view. L-eNhance filter, Bin 2, 40m capture from my back yard. It's the last image in the gallery here.
