With the moon up, I put on the 7 Nm H alpha filter and had a go at imaging one of the newly discovered planetary nebulas from the UKST H Alpha survey.
Its called G307.3+02.0 and is VERY faint. I got it from this list

http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/halpha/PNCD/ascii/pnew.dat

Its 3x10 mins ISO 1600 with 10 inch f5.6 scope modded 350d
Not exactly blindingly bright lol.

That would have to be the most obscure object I have ever heard of let alone witnessed to capture just now. You are truely going down in Australian astronomical folk law history as one of the finest imagers living!

Thanks :)
Im not sure of its magnitude, but for it not to be already discovered before the UKST HA survey it must be very faint.
