Great image Rick! One nit though, there seems to be a lot of spurious
color in the halo; big green and red splotches.

Yep, clouds rolled in giving a haze layer when taking green and blue
frames. Thus their S/N ratio is lower than the red. Hence the problem.
I was going to retake it but 5 weeks of clouds caused me to go with
what I had. I'll try again next year.
