Description

This object is my white whale. Rarely seen, and something always goes haywire when I try to image it. In this case, very heavy dew finally overwhelmed the SCT's dew shield and dew heater, so I didn't get as much O-iii as I wanted, and focus on both was dubious. It's a beautiful target though ... looking forward to a chance to take another crack at it in a few years.
