About this image

Another mono snapshot of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, taken from the Utah Desert at almost the same time as today's much wider field image. NABG sensor hence the star-bleed. Just a hint of a dark lane in the coma/tail? Interesting to see how well the FSQ 106 performed compared to this much larger 17" CDK with 4x the aperture.
