An interesting target, Dave mentioned it on the StarGaZine a couple weeks ago, nice to see it captured.

Great capture there, really nice detail. What scope were you using? I was going to try this last night but went for the whale and hockey stick galaxies, 2 for the price of one in 1 frame, clear skies

Thanks for your reply

No scope ... Just my Canon 80D Slr camera and Sigma 150-600mm zoom lens set at 500mm, but on a cropped body camera that gave me equivalent focal length of  800mm.
