For me is was a awesome experience and I thanked the western sydney astro club member for the experience, unfortunatelly I don't remember his name, but I do have his picture. I tried to see it with my 12" but you really need that filter to see it at all. Paul's image is a great shot.

Geeday h0ughy,
Sounds like this might be something we can do at the forthcoming IIS Camp.
"Spot the horsehead"...
Thanks for compliment regarding the image, but I can't say that I am totally happy with the image and so it remains on my "hit list". The winds stopped me imaging and the seeing wasn't that great. So when the weather is good again I intend on much more PhotonCollecting for this object.
Regards
Paul
