Eta car with QHY-8 / SLR lens

[kinetic (Steve)]

While waiting for Lovejoy hour I snapped this set
of Eta Car and surrounds this morning (02-Jan)

Seeing was very good, but thin, high cloud came in silently
about halfway through.

QHY-8 with an old SLR (film) 80-200mm lens. (set at 80mm)

Great shot Steve!!!

Look directly below eta, it might be an artifact but it looks like you have a short trail there. It's sort of bluish-purple in colour. If it's a trail it might be an asteroid.
