It was first discovered by William Herschel in 1786 and is roughly about 1,460 light years from us.
Boring techie bit:
Skywatcher Quattro 8" Newtonian Reflector steel tube with the f4 aplanatic coma corrector, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, Altair Starwave 50mm guide scope, ZWO asi120mm guide camera mini, ZWO asi533mc pro, Optolong L'enhance 2" filter, ZWO asiair plus.
180s exposures, Gain110 at -20c
Best 75% of 80 light frames.
