About this image

Since this irritating bright object is currently high in the sky I thought "if you can't beat them, join them" and had a go at doing some visual observing with a C6. After a while I stuck an ASI183 camera on the back and tried some imaging. The seeing was not very good so I don't have much but I did get this mosaic from single 4ms frames. Unfortunately I missed out a small chunk but I declare that this is part of the artistic nature of the image and it represents the deeper meaning of something "missing" in our understanding of the universe. You can right-click on the image and open a full resolution version.

Nice image, Nick.

It's even more annoying when you don't have quite enough overlap between images, resulting in little dark rectangles in the middle of the mosaic!

... and I thought it was your attempt at Pac-Man, Nick.
