Another image... this one from early in the session, around 12.40... showing the GRS and Oval BA mid transit. Lots of vortices around the edge of the GRS make it look a bit hairy. The area of influence of the GRS is clearly seen here extending all around it. Oval BA seems to be only a few days away from conjunction with the GRS, there's a clear gap between them although it seems that a tendril of dark material is coming off BA to the upper left as we see it here.

I'm testing a new image enhancement package for the Gimp called FX-Foundry. This image was done using the "separate light and shadow" enhancement, it looks good on this laptop screen anyway :-)

cheers, Bird
