It's a clear moonless night and I still don't have my Esprit

. Determined not to waste the first good night in a week, headed out to Wyaralong Dam and use the Ol' ED80. I keep forgetting to refocus for each filters which is especially important for a doublet. OH WELL. Chose a nice and easy target for the night just to keep things simple. Just wanted to have a relaxing session with no dramas.

Anyone know what this is? It doesn't look like an imaging artifact, maybe a PN? but its not showing up in my image solver

A very nice M7 Tony and yes that could well be a PN

Love the description of your session too, sometimes these sort are the best, simple and enjoyable...aaaaah
