Mozzie,when we first spotted it naked eye,it was like globular cluster close to Scorpius which shouldn't have been there,but when I and Kevin put our 16" scopes on it,it was WOW
what a sight.
I was going around telling anyone who would listen to put their scopes on it,Peter Robbins put his 30" monster on it and had a line up wanting to watch the action.
The funniest thing was that most of the imagers had packed up and gone too bed, it was mostly just the observing field who got to see this happening.
Groans all round among the imagers
the next morning when they heard of the excitement
Watching the drifting apart of the rocket away from the flair was amazing.
Too think we were watching something happening 23000 kilometers away and in real time was a blast
something to remember for a long time
Cheers
