This is beautiful to observe today in white light.

Managed to get a few snaps: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/251003-ar2403-with-dslr-through-baader-wedge/

Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Shaun. Glad I didn't miss the show

Got the white light - and Ha - today. Stunning.

In fact, I think my white light views today were the best I have seen. Strange really, because it looked 'hazy' to the naked eye and I didn't expect much but managed to bump magnification on AR2403 to 120x. Just wonderful to see so much detail. However, 160x was over the top. 'Seeing' is a law unto itself.

The views in Ha were also awesome, with the huge hedgerow prom on the eastern limb dominating the show but, as above, white light wins the day for me.

Ain't it a blast!

Glad to hear the activity is still going strong. It was beautifully sunny here, but I didn't get a chance to look, because we had a family outing to Schiermonnikoog, a lovely island off the north coast. We left to catch the ferry befor ethe sun was high enough to spot, and returned when it had already set.
