Last Wednesday night (02-17-2010) we had some fantastic skies here, very transparent, and the seeing was pretty good as well. Thankfully it worked out that I could take advantage of it and do some imaging and visual observing too! I imaged this target from the time the moon set at 9:30pm till about 4:30am when the fantastic sky finally started to get ruined by clouds.

This is an amazing amateur image. What are the equipment details?
