Thanks for all the comments, folks!
Actually I'm a Cylon, never need any sleep and am programmed to think I'm an astrophotographer. And I have a plan....
This weekend is observing weekend again, but first Mercury tomorrow morning.
The Bat/Running chicken was shot with the Celestron 80 ED, and with the C9.25 it is visible as a faint glow around an open star cluster.
Cheers,
