            Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat +51.542  Long -3.593

Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.
 
A somewhat better effort than my last attempt in April 2019.
 
   21 x 50s at 800 ISO.
   Also 10 dark frames.

Imaging session commenced at 01:25 UT. 

Processed with Deep Sky Stacker and final levels adjusted with G.I.M.P.

The image displays coma towards the edges. This is one drawback of a parabolic f/4.8 Newtonian.
