I enjoyed the tour you gave using the different magnifications and filters used and I also liked how you put a link to a pic of what it looked like 
I googled some images and they were all fuzzy, including the Wikki link. So I had to end up going to the hubble site for it, and it's still a bit hazy  .
What a testament to both yourself and Paddy's observing skills. Aye, a very large scope helps those skills too. And it sure helped Hubble.
I'm beginning to realise more and more why PN's aren't recommended for beginners.  Some of them are easy and quite awesome for sure, but some *#@!!&*#@!.... all I can say is lucky we observe solo. |
Thanks Suzy
, I think I may find some more funny shaped planetary nebula to test my observing skills on
Ghost of Jupiter maybe
It looks like I may have to get a 3-4mm eyepiece to get more magnification to squeeze even more detail out of these elusive little devils
Cheers
