Hi Guys,

Funny arrow head looking object. apprently it changes surface area every month!!! Saw scotts shot of it so gave it ago also to see if there is any difference with the surface area of this object. i can't really tell. This was short burst exposures at 8 x 3 minutes at ISO 400. taken early in the week.

thanks scott. I don't think i can capture this object again as it is hitting west at my location and i can't image west due to my neighbours huge tree. if you can give this object another go abit later will be great on my behalve as i would love to see the surface area changing in such a short period of time.
