A newly discovered planetary nebula

[Stevec35]

This planetary is designated Try 3 and was only discovered in January. Needless to say it is pretty faint so don't expect a spectacular image. To save time I binned everything 2x2. As far as the size is concerned it is about one arc-minute across.

Cheers

Steve

Nicely done Steve. PN is clearly visible, even some structure.

[Placidus]

Well done! Utterly convincing.

Definitely there! At first I thought it was a finger print on my laptop screen due to having a west facing window behind me :P
Nicely captured on such a faint sucker!

Nice capture, Steve! I'm working on some data for EGB6 which is also very faint.

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Nice capture Steve, bit of fun doing this sort of Sakib Rasool work ;) wish My obso was automated...or at least in my own backyard :rolleyes:

:thumbsup:

Love this "off the well worn track stuff" especially such a newly discovered object.
Great image Steve.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Peter



Thanks Mike. Sakib is a great source for the obscure stuff which as you know is my preference. Basic automation isn't that hard if you have someone to open and close the roof/dome for you. Having the backyard is nice and convenient even with the light pollution.

Nice one Steve--going for the hard ones is always satisfying when they work out like this one did. Not surprising that it isn't on the list of long-known objects.

Thanks Geoff

Hi Steve,

puh...:) Looks like a very tough target! But - also looks fine, some structures are visible, nice!

That is a really faint little sucker. Good on you Steve for giving this a go.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Paul. I almost gave up on it because 2 hours unbinned showed virtually nothing. Binning 2x2 improved matters considerably though.



Thanks Markus. It's probably the faintest thing I've ever imaged.
