Thanks Steve - was a complete fluke, as most of these things are. It was taken at about 5.30am, only 20 mins before sunrise - I'd been imaging Jupiter and had just finished and decided to pack up but the moon was nearby so I moved over to it and grabbed a few runs including that one.

The scope was properly cooled, the moon was at the zenith and the pre-dawn air was very steady. Turned out to be a good combination :-)

regards, Anthony
