Description

We have had dismal weather in November, December and now January in England.  This is a target either side of the main object being imaged over the last three months.  Visible in the early morning in November and now culminating at that time in January.  Despite lower light pollution at that time of the night, I had to fight strong gradients from the poor imaging conditions.

For a proper shot of this object see Team Omicron's version here.

Taken with the usual tandem setup:   6" StarFire EDF doing L and Stowaway shooting OSC.

There's a neat cluster of galaxies, ACO 773, towards the top right.  Check the annotated version.  According to its redshift z=0.2173, it's a good ~3bn ly away!
