That's a great image. Beautiful colours and details. Very sharp. Some interesting galaxies in the field too. Cool vid as well. :thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

A very tidy result indeed. Nice one :thumbsup:

Nice work, Michael. The Oiii halo is very faint...

[Atmos]

Really nice Michael on both accounts.

[Placidus]

Superb! Excellent work.

What was the total exposure?

An really nice shot Mike, well done, one of my favourite PN's, I love the subtle features in the main disc.

It needed 10hrs with my 12"at F3.8 and no Moon with a 6nm OIII filter to fully revel the outer halo, a 3nm OIII would probably have been better.

Thanks guys for comments.
Edited and added exposure details for Placidus.:P

Mike if it takes 10hours with your F3.8 at 6nm:scared2: it would take me a life time with my F8 RC. Might be a good one for the to hard basket hehe.
