That's another beautiful image there from the Spanish side of you scopes, must find some new words, but another I don't believe I have seen before, maybe worth a try with my M/N 190-mm one day.

Thanks Alan. I do tend to go for the more obscure targets! This one isn't that common in part because it's fairly low on the horizon at 12 degrees declination. Even in southern Spain it was only just peeping over the observatory walls.
