Here's another one from the obscure catalogue, the faint planetary nebula Abell 18. I binned everything 2x2 to save time but it doesn't seem to have seriously affected the resolution. Basically it's nothing special as planetaries go which is probably why I haven't been able to find many pictures of it.

Cheers

Steve

Good to see one of the more obscure objects, Steve. No hint of a halo in the Oiii?

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks Rick - I'm just continuing my obscure object tradition. There was no halo that I could see. You've guessed the reason I was imaging it.
