Longmore 11

[Stevec35]

Longmore 11 is not a particularly spectacular object but it's one of the huge numbers of obscure planetary nebulae out there. Unlike many, it's reasonably large (1 minute in diameter). I couldn't find much information about it on the web.

Cheers

That's a cute little thing.

That's a great catch Steve!

I love seeing less common objects...good on you!

Very well done!!
Cheers,

Thanks Tim. I too like the more obscure stuff.



Thanks. Not sure if I would call it cute.

[Placidus]

Very nice indeed.

Quite reminiscent of NGC 246. Took me a while to persuade myself it wasn't. Must be similar mechanisms at work producing the shape.

Best,
Mike

Thanks M&T. Many of these things certainly have similar shapes.

As an afterthought I just added a 200% crop and boosted the saturation a bit.

Quite an interesting little thing, not much bigger than Jupiter :)

[Stevec35]

Which is actually fairly big for a planetary nebula

I agree with M&T, first thing I thought too, re NGC 246 :)

Nice job, was this a Rasool suggestion?

They are indeed everywhere and most make great shots :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike. Yes this was indeed a Rasool suggestion. Going to try another one tonight if my currently extremely sore leg allows.

[SimmoW]

Thats really cute! yes good catch

[RickS]

Cool object, Steve. Nicely done!

[Stevec35]

Thanks guys. Going after an even more difficult one tonight. I'm not sure whether "cute" is the right term. Someone has said it looks a bit like a faberge egg.
