| Description | This is one of my last observations using my Evo 9.25 before it was lost via an accident. Waning crescent moon was not visible during observation. At the time, I had been practicing EAA for less than 60 days. I was excited about seeing this dim object emerge as evidenced by the fact that I stayed on it for 68 minutes. For many years I've owned a favorite paisley tie, and this reminded me of it. Image is L-R reversed due to use of a mirror diagonal in the image train. Corrected for the Arp catalog comparison image only. |
