About this image

After Richard notified the new outburst this was my first opportunity but in very poor seeing with mist and cloud interfering so I tried imaging using a sensitive planetary camera. Just to add to my difficulties half way through imaging my computer turned itself off while the mount was still being controlled by it. Luckily I was able to recover the chart position and carry on!
