Description

Three weeks ago, I had cataract surgery on my only working eye. It's sooooo much better now than it has been for years. But for the first few days, I couldn't see very well at all. During that time, I needed to change targets on my TOA and so I set it up for vdB 1. I thought I had entered the coordinates correctly, but a few days later, I realized I'd entered 50 for the dec coordinate instead of 58. So here I have 22 hours of something I never intended to shoot. I think it looks pretty cool. But there's no prominent named object in it. It's somewhere in Cassiopeia near the Checkmark nebula. You can decide whether this was a silly Mr. Magoo screwup or a Bob Ross happy accident.
