Description

This target is rather cute (although it looks frightening when it pops up your screen for the first time). With some imagination, it resembles the head of a monkey (looking towards the left).
I'll once start collecting OIII and SII data on targets like these, but for the time being I am very fond of simple, monochrome Ha images.
