BigToe: IC1274 H-alpha

IC1274 at the top of the image (north) is the brightest and most toe-like digit of BigFoot, near the Lagoon.

For the true pareidologist, the bulk of the image can be seen as a turtle swimming up the page, with IC1274 as it's head.

But for us, the pride and joy is the yabbie shell, side view, head up, clearly visible and brilliantly transparent, at about seven o'clock. (We recently went on a successful yabbie hunt at our neighbour's dam.).

Also visible immediately to the right of the yabbie's head is a magnificent black dragon in silhouette, facing to the right, and just a little smaller in angular diameter than the uncooked crustacean.

The chelonian is so much bigger than the dragon that we can only assume it is A'tuin the World Turtle itself.

One can stretch the image a bit to wring out some detail in the blacks, but it spoils the romance of the other features.

H-alpha (3nM), 3 x 1hr. Aspen CG16M on 20" PlaneWave. GoodLook 64.

Best,
M & T
