I like this object, the tadpoles are very interesting structures, (shooting some SII on this as l type in fact), but that must be a typo, no? Surely this is not just 28 minutes of data?!

Yes. Just checked the file folder. 16 were captured but 2 were discarded. one for heavy sat trails the other poor tracking.

Part of my first real outing with the 585MC. Great camera, very sensitive.

Wow! That is incredible for less than half an hour!

I wonder what the first adopters of amateur film astrophotography (and professional observatories, for that matter) would think if they saw this.
