I was clearing my Compact Flash card tonight and came across this image.
Just can't remember what it was I was imaging.
It was taken on the 28-06-06 around 2am.

Single 55 sec shot at ISO 800.

Any ideas?

No idea Andrew, but it is a nice pic, and very well centred.

Gee, I'm a great help!

Where you shooting with lens or scope? Do you remember? It look kinda like over exposed Jupiter. :shrug:

Just checked, Jupiter was just setting above the western horizon then, so unlikely.

I was using the refractor Paul.
mmm Jupiter, I thought of that, but apparently Starry Night shows that it was very low in the west by that time and I don't have a good view in that direction.
EDIT: must have posted at the same time Paul.

To me it looks like Achernar. According to SkyMap and Uranometria, that star field looks pretty much like the area around alpha Eri. To the immediate right of the bright star is a group of 4 stars in a scaled version of Sagitta and that helps identify the field.
