Hi,
Nice image... :D :D

The sky was quite good and steady earlier... I first time notice the Saturn Encke Division... at 500x... thanks to amin7074 pointing out to me or I'll miss it... :D :D :D Also, first time I saw the faint blue colour Sirius B at 500x as it blink in the halo of Sirius between the two diffraction spike :D :D :D

Have a nice day.

Boothee - But your picture looks very artistic! It's like the sunlight is shining from upper left - nice 3D effect! :)

p.s. Have you checked your collimation?
