Hi all,
I was incredibly impressed with Geochron's image of Zeta Ophiuchi (here:

Follow-up observations with several ground-based telescopes helped scientists confirm the discovery and characterize the object. These citizen scientists are now co-authors on the team’s study about this discovery published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters (a pre-print version is available here). |

Now, who's going to be the first one here to try and image it?
Cheers,
