Well done Rog, all spot on. Was it windy?

[CELESCOPE]

Hi Martin . yes a few gusts about lost about 8 subs inall , so not to bad , but idf you ever get a chance at this one . beware of that bright star, its a curse , it will wash that neb out very easy, so i think short subs are on the cards for this one,and pull what you can out of it , i had to tone the star right down in the process, its ..... soooooooo bright.

I think Rog. had it in the caption. Is it not Gamma Cassiopeiae.? If it is, it is an erratic variable. It is a BO supergiant IC 59 Is also associated with the star.

I am quoting from Burnhams Celestial Handbook Volume 1 here, and not off the top of my head.

I see where you're coming from, Caz - too busy staring into the pic to bother with the funny writing at the bottom!!

Beautiful image Rog. Well done for getting such detail in a faint object alongside such a bright star
