Image DetailsUp is 358.4 degrees E of N. Transparency: Good. Seeing: Good. Total integration time was 12m. Exposures 15s@300g, UV/IR Cut Filter. Dithered and recentered in SharpCap. No guiding.
DescriptionA straightforward observation on a good observing night. 12m is relatively short integration, but I could see in SharpCap that the tidal "fields" that evidence interaction were quite visible, and the overall size of the target wasn't going to support much more structure or detail.
