It's soooo good to have clear skies again. This was taken this morning at 7:50 UT with a toucam on the 16" f18 Dall-Kirkham. A scopetronics 1.6x multiplier was used. Best 300 of 2000. Seeing could have been better for this target but I'm happy with the final result.

This and another image are also posted in the 'latest images' section of the website below.

Cheers,
