About this image

An accident that came out well. I had been imaging in white light and switched to the Quark but a faulty power connection meant that I took an image through it (left hand side) when the Quark was not powered on and tuned, effectively just anohter white light image. The image on the right is with the Quark now turned on. A nice comparison I think!
