Hi Gordon, Still very nice under said conditions, Nice details in the inner regions for being a faint object. And I know what you mean i was trying to finish some images started weeks ago because of the rain and started imaging the cocoon and notice changes in captured details out of focus noise you name it. when i looked up the sky was clear but the stars lost there brightness - Guess what saharra dust creeped in and volcanic ash is stll lingering here its been four days and counting.
