This image shows galaxy NGC 3184 in Ursa Major. The bright star Tania Australis (on the left side) caused a major ghost image below and to the right of the galaxy. I don't have the know-how needed to remove that smudge.

Again, like in the previous image, the focus in this image is off. Deconvolving helped a little bit.

Other notes: This was the first night that imaged three target in one night. Overall, I'd call this a session with limited success as I didn't check the focus between targets. I'll pay more attention next time.
