LBN 1320, captured during a run of clear skies at Trevinca while guiding was down. Being close to the pole, it tolerated unguided 180s subs well enough for R, G and B. Luminance was added later at 300s once guiding came back online. The plumes give it an almost human shape, leaning forward as if caught mid-fall. Just the way the dust happened to clump, but it's hard to unsee once you notice it.
