What a fine sight AR11899 was at the eyepiece for my brief view at lunch time.    I am going to miss this one when it's gone!

I'm just going to grieve that I never saw it think how lucky you are

A fabulous shot!

Thanks Steve and Alexandra

Wonder if this spot could make it all the way around again, even if it's a tiddler by then?

[DrRobin]

Very nice Luke, AR1899 might come round again, it is showing no sign for dissipating.
