Description

As I always try to do, I make the best of the opportunities afforded me, and this time it was during full moon that I imaged this iconic object. So much more could have been achieved on a moonless night of course, but I have had it in mind to use the RC for a while, on this object, so I went for it. It was tough processing anything out of the data, but I persisted. Thanks everyone and I hope you are well. Simon
