IDed Wayne's photo

Wayne sent me a photo. He was tickled. His first DSLR image of a deep sky object through his telescope. The only issue was he labelled it M42. Ah. That can't be right. Wrong season! I tried to manual resolve it. M11? No. Tried a couple of other summer clusters. Nope. So I sent it to astrometry.net. It tagged it pretty quickly. M52! He thanked me for checking into it.
