something a little different

Hand held last evening. 3.2 secs 18mm lens with .45x wide field adaptor.
For some reason if viewing with a laptop, you have to tilt the screen back a bit further than normal to see the upper section of the halo. The largest halo I have ever seen; with adaptor, my lens was equivalent of 7.2
I've just discovered that it is huge; you need to set screen to 40% mag to get it all in.

Looks like a big halo of icy cirrus. Have some high level here now too.
