Of course, that one was comparing with a smaller image scale HST image (mosaic), HH 666 is in there too, that's where I noticed it... but it took a few days This HST shot of HH 666 is much larger image scale (ie up closer) and yep, the compariosn also shows what our atmosphere is capable of (not to mention 2.3m of aperture) ...that night wasn't even good for me as far as seeing goes either
