Our image was obtained by Sven Kohle and Till Credner of Bonn, Germany, with the 1-meter telescope of the Hoher List observatory. It was created from 3 exposures with a 2048x2048 CCD camera, with B, V, and H-alpha filter. The B and V images were exposed for 30 minutes each, the H-alpha image for 245 minutes. The image is copyrighted by the observers.
