The detail within the main section of the dust lane is usually what stands out in these images but that offset extension of it is just so well defined in this image.

Thanks Trevor. Yes I see what you mean. A lot of the time the scope was pointing almost straight up. It gave me a problem really as I had to get up at 3am to do the meridian flip and the camera filter wheel was still going to hit the pier on the other side so I had to sit with it and image another 30 minutes before I could flip it. Seeing was very good. I notice seeing is picked up more by this scope than I have noticed before. Poor seeing makes the the image look like it is a bit out of focus.
Greg.
