About this image

I had fun and games with this on a rare clearish day. First my laptop insisted that it was 19th March at 10am for the first two images before I realised something was wrong. Then some cloud appeared and finally both the laptop and the camera and I were all in agreement. The third image shows the difference in detail and contrast in particular from applying a double stack to the Quark. It isn't without its problems in ghost reflections but careful positioning cured most of it.

I've coloured these negative images in a reddish tone to reflect the naked eye view.
