Hi Dave ,
A great report
which I would , from the last time I observed the Homunuculus , say is a good achievement . I found the larger lobe has a smaller dimple/dark patch central to and towards the end of the oval . I saw mottling in the smaller lobe .Did you get the bi-polar jet towards the side with 2 x very small stars ? I had good to very good seeing (pretty rare in SE QLD) which allowed my 'Zamar" SDM pimped 20" F5 to take the magnification of the 9mm Nagler at 280 x. the 6mm Nagler was not as favourable though . I'm still processing the image which I took afterwards.. AP is a dark art. Pure visual has a magic of it's own..instant reward being one of them
