Description

After three nights of trying, I finally managed to get an OK image of NGC1097.  Thanks to my Astrobin friends, my star halo woes were tracked now to a grubby secondary.  I probably need to do a much better job of cleaning all my optics, but here - as thank you - to those that helped - is the immediate difference a "quick and dirty" clean of the 2ary made.  [Can a clean be dirty?]

Only 6 weeks from summer solstice here, so the nights are short.  This was all I managed to get in 6 hours, and the jets are only barely visible.  Might try again next clear night, but I am getting a little "tired" of NGC1097.
