eye of Sauron?

[shamba504424]

Hello everyone,just managed to get a fairly decent capture mid afternoon today as was a day of lots of passing cloud with a bit of a nippy wind so was very pleased to be able to track the spot again,been so lucky with the weather up this way this past week,beautiful sunny days with very little wind,really good conditions to be able to try out different settings with software and equipment without having to panic and get something before it all goes behind the clouds for days on end.

Used Lunt ls60 pt bf1200 and ZWO174mm mono camera with Hyperion barlow.

Oddly enough, Rusted posted an image of this (slightly higher magnification) earlier today and I thought it looked like the Eye of Sauron, too :)

My colour image is even weirder with an orange rim to the spot. 

I was fighting wind blowing straight through the open observation slit. Not to mention cloud.
