This gets any bigger, I am gonna need a bigger CCD chip! Measures about 
14 arc minutes now. Still growing.
Taken at 11:30pm 11/30/07 with the 32 inch scope (4800mm focal length) 
and my SBIG STL 1001E camera. 25 10 sec exposures combined.  Link to image:

Been said it looks like a planetary nebula. Tonight looking like a 
focault test mirror image, well undercorrected!
