About this image

Just 20°altitude, very poor seeing and a freezing breeze made for an interesting session at the telescope. Not to mention 7° elongation.

The overexposed image on the right doesn't appear to show any cusp extensions at the time but conditions were very poor indeed. They didn't seem present visually but I couldn't be sure.
