Title

This was taken with my 10-inch f/4.3 fitted with a x 2 Barlow to increase image size on the Fuji Sensia 200 film frame. In these days (1997), the only way to get a bigger image with minimum fuss on slide film was to do it at the telescope. The exposure was 20 seconds and incredibly the scope tracked well enough not to smear the detail.
