this was the other object imaged last Saturday night

unfortunately I shot this image through the palm tree (my pet hate) and it caused some weird diffraction effects so I will have to go back and do this on again another night.

(I just couldn't pick this up when reviewing the image on the Camera LCD screen and thought I was missing the tree.)

Nice shot! I'll have to add that one to my list for the next clear night!

I see what you mean about the diffraction spikes
