About this image

After a few technical problems when my computer froze and lost mount position I managed to capture my first decent image of cloud features in UV using a fused silica 2x Barlow which passes all UV light in the range of the Baader UV filter. I was also able to detect faint cloud features in IR although interestingly quite different to those detected in UV.
