Read all about this object at the December Observing Challenge page.

Post your DSO images here. The image does not have to be taken this month.. it's preferred, but not mandatory.

Observation reports and sketches go in the Observational Astronomy forum

Here's my attempt at this object. It's pretty poor standard, but at 32 seconds i suppose it's better than nothing at all, at least i can see the ring, bubble, circle thingy bit

Single image ISO 1600, 32 seconds, prime focus with the ED80.

Thanks for the nice comments.

It wasn't a real good go at it, but it's my first pic in a monthly challenge

Nice shot Trevor. I'd love to hear your review of the Hutech 5D. I was considering getting one myself and they are very new and little is known about them.

Best,

Greg.

Hi Greg.

Welcome to the forum.

Both avandonk and Trevor have 5D's, do a search back through some threads in this forum and there's quite a bit of discussion on them (and images taken with them!). They look really, really good.
