Thanks, Greg. It looks a bit like it is sculpted from ice.

Whoops. 3nM Astrodon filters. Aspen CG16M at -30C. PlaneWave 20" CDK. Mathis Instruments MI760 fork mount. Custom servo-motors. Auto-refocus between subs. All dome, camera, mount, and scope control electronics, firmware, software, and all image processing software (except final embedding of ICC profile) built or written by us.

Marco's image has lovely star colours.

Thanks, Geoff. A dolphin with seal affiliations perhaps.

Must confess that it was the other two very fine and shiny buses that got us enthused. We plate solved your shot in order to work out where to point. Thank you!
