[APML] V838 - Image from last night

["Chris Schur" <cschur@cybertrails.com>]

Greetings,

Please forgive me for posting a dark side image here, but I can hardly
contain my excitement on this one.  This is an image of the beautiful golden
brown light echo around what is left of the explosive variable V838 in
Monoceros, near the Rosette nebula.  I am posting this so that perhaps
others will get the initiative to get out and photograph this possibly once
in a lifetime event, and watch it progress rapidly over time:

The coordiates of the object are on the web page.
