Raw UNPROCESSED photo.

Interesting object that has not been identified.
The halo structure does NOT appear to be
generated in the optics or camera and only
appears on this object. Update

Contrast enhanced but NO dark frame was
subtracted. I intend to go back to this object
after the new optics are installed. This photo
was somewhat blurred due to vibration from
the new experimental clock drive. There is
also some field rotation from the long time
exposure. Update
