Excellent shot, Chris. Your star images are crisp all across the field and I
liked seeing the outer expanse of the Magellanic Clouds. It was interesting
seeing the Gegenschein embedded in the zodiacal band.
We had a good night here last night after the nearly first quarter moon set.
After moonset I was able to see the Gegenschein in Pisces nearly the size of
the Great Square of Pegasus.
Clear skies,

Dear List members,
Its cloudy tonight, so I thought you might want to be cheered up with a new
image.
This is the deepest shot of the elusive zodiacal band I have taken yet. It was
taken in Winton Australia, and readily shows the Gegenschien as a very bright
patch, and with this image as well, you can directly compare the Magellenic
clouds with M31. I noticed that the core of M31 appears very yellow while the
LMC appears more white.
