There's a long story that goes with this one.

Its only 55 minutes but luckily its a bright object.

Bad weather and a clear patch starting at 3am opened an opportunity after a few nights of cloud cover at my remote dark site observatory in NSW Australia.

RCOS 12.5 inch, STL11000CM camera, Takahashi NJP mount and a large dose of patience.

5 x 10 minutes, 1 x 5 minutes.
