I just wish it's halo had been brighter. Tonight has it almost a magnitude brighter so hopefully I'll have better results. And how nice of it to be so well placed for imaging tonight and tomorrow so that I'll have time to get home from the star parties and get my observatory on line. :) patrick

Pretty faint but it is there, moving from upper left to lower right.
