object in 10x42 binocs, showing E-W elongation, despite the distinct
twilight glow.

Excellent!
It will give me something else to keep an eye on while I am collecting data
on RS Oph (added impetus to drive me out of bed at that ungodly hour!)

Similar 05:30 today. 60mm BORG refractor and 24mm Panoptic ~ 5 degree fov.

Elongated ~ 1/2 degree. Very orangey in the LP!

Cheers
Paul
