Finally got some imaging done, high cloud arrived but I didnt let that stop me. used the UHCS filter rather than the more gently LPS filter, which seemed to banish much of the effect of the high cloud.

8x10 mins ISO 400. UV IR filter also used as UHCS doesnt stop all infra red.
10 inch f5.6 newtonian, off axis hand guided. Great seeing surprisingly.

This a full res. crop from centre of frame

Small, but definitely well formed.

Good to see some objects not often seen.

Excellent shot.
