Machholz is just about to cross over from Taurus into Aries. He'll only be there for two nights, (skimming the corner of Aries) then into Perseus. This time I used film, not digital. The camera was piggy-backed on the telescope (120mm f/8 refractor) which was guided for the exposure. The lens was a 300mm f/5.5 (wide open). Film was Kodacolor 400ASA. Scanned at 2400dpi and processed as usual. Don't get excited if you discover something new in this image. Its probably dust.
