Description

Caught at just 9 degrees above the horizon with my 14 inch GOTO Dobson. I was livestacking with Sharpcap with 2 second exposures at the time, so I got to see it appear on the screen in all its live glory. With my binoculars it was just a faint point of light above the trees.  I´ve included an iPhone screenshot of the Livestack below.  I then stacked the first 52  saved frames in Pixinsight. So this is less than a 2 minute integration.
