Some interesting detail there Ken, esp. in the third shot. At least we have a spot to view. Regards, John W.

Nice Ken, awesome detail... & information
Hoping to get my Lunt out on the EQ mount over the weekend. Had a quick peek this morning just on an Az/alt manual mount to test a Celestron zoom EP I picked up cheap..
Plenty going on up there from what I could see, sadly, I had a prior appointment so, wasn't able to look for long... & then the clouds rolled in later in the afternoon..
With a bit of luck, might get some images... will be first crack at daytime PA using the sun...
Cheers
