Hi! this is a view of Mons Apenninus/Vallis Alpes area, with my C11 and dmk21au618.

I Know this is not an APOD image, but I want to share anyway

This is the big size, because I think the point of the image is... the size. Sorry!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/12801949@N02/8645489594/ Here is Greg's "3" asterism that I discovered in Leo just a couple of months ago. The centre of the "3" is at:
RA 09 37 21.17
DEC +15 20 43.49

It really does appear this way up and this bright through a scope
