Title

Sahara dust clouded the sky heavily. But there was a window late in the evening where it was possible. Here are 10 minutes with the blue filter, which surprisingly captured the ion tail after all. The outburst image with the longer focal length will follow tomorrow. Image taken on Feb. 29 18.47 UT 6x100sec blue 11"RASA QHY600 Michael Jäger
