M87 and Friends

We had a rare clear sky here and it was reasonably steady too. So, while I was testing mounts, I did a quick 20 minute exposure of M87 with my 160F7.5 EDF refractor and a QSI683 CCD camera. This is a single 20 minute luminance, and it showed the jet coming out of the core quite nicely.
