I found it amazing that (according to Astrometrica) I'm getting stars down to magnitude 20.8 in these 3 minute exposures for this and other recent images. That's increadable if you ask me.
Anyway, this is NGC 2556 - not a particularly fascinating image but it's interesting to note the jagged looking edge of the galaxy.
Also interesting is a spot down the bottom left, almost off the bottom of the image, that appears to have moved throughout the exposures. It stands out because

Also interesting is a spot down the bottom left, almost off the bottom of the image, that appears to have moved throughout the exposures. It stands out because of the straight line the dots form. I'm going to investigate this one, see if Astrometrica can pick anything up. A bit of a challenge I expect!
