Yes, and one of the last holdouts to go from Tech Pan film imaging to CCD. But
that ST-8XME is a pretty old camera. I wonder how long ago that image was
taken. I mentioned IC 1470 when I was writing my observing articles for
Astronomy, wherein it is written, "...a bright object half an arcminute across
with a much fainter extension to the southeast. Look for a tight pair of
11th-magnitude stars 2' to the west."
I would recommend downloading Aladin Desktop, which doesn't have too steep of a
learning curve. It is available at the top of this site:
