Lovely detail, pehaps could've had some better framing/composition, but another lovely result from the stable of Eric.

Ken i saw it at Snake valley 2 years ago. It's large in size and faint in the 10" scope. The argo said it was there but i couldn't see it looking straight at it until I gave the scope a bump and then it popped out and I could see it plainly.
Another great pic Eric and I don't agree that its ugly!
