Crop and enlargement of the first image. Some of the filamentary structure can be seen despite the relatively low focal length and resolution.
This was a much earlier effort from about two years previous, using a "prosumer" digital camera coupled afocally to a 25mm eyepiece on the VC200L. This is an average of six 1 minute frames, processed in AIP4Win and PSP7.
