Clouds had ended the night so I played around with high gain and long unguided runs using the occasional holes in the cloud.

Thought to investigate edges of the Coal Sack and produced this from about 20 minutes of ha and lum ..ha at gain 500:eyepop: .

Look to the top left and tell me if you know what the little oval object is..please ignore the elongated stars ..I need to fix something with the scope but the little oval is more than an oval star I suspect...it looked ring like at some stage of the processing but not so much now.

I will look for it on a star chart but I just don't recognise it:question:.

Alex, drop down just abit below that area to Cederblad 122, if you find the star mCentauri that is a good starting point. It's a big Ha area below the Coal Sack, and a good imaging target for widefield.

That oval object is probably just an alien ship.

I have not found out what it is yet.
It is in all subs and did not move relative to anything ...
