Betty, brace yerself!

QUICKIE TIME! :lol:

1 hr of the project I am working on.

First guess not using a plate solving programme wins a kiss from Louie Atalasidas :P

Lots of new items in this one... And NOT even processed apart from removing the LP eczema :) You get a glorious LOW RES JPEG....not uploading this 1hr to Astrobin :lol:

[h0ughy]

Cg4? I think I am way off

[LewisM]

You got the CG prefix right but it’s not CG4. This is part of a Cometary Globule but has an NGC designation

[graham.hobart]

CG12 NGC 5367. looking good !

[clive milne]

Ahh, I think I remember this from the ESO southern nebula at high galactic latitudes... iirc it's ballpark hydra - centaurus region?

[LewisM]

Louie, kiss Grazza will ya please:lol:

[LewisM]

I need to check around to see if there is H-a nearby, as I feel I removed some background/peripheral H-a in the LP removal. Not too many wide field shots of this, and others I have looked at appear dark.

Getting there Lewis. Should only need another 99 hours? :P

[LewisM]

Maybe more :)

[Camelopardalis]

Got to be happy with that Lewis, even for only an hour :thumbsup:

[LewisM]

Noe - I'm not :lol: - I only get an hour on it every time it's clear...and the longer I wait to do it, the less time I get to image it - UNLESS I move my imaging location to further up the hill away from trees (not likely)

[cometcatcher]

You'll have to shift your 3 cement pad observatory Lewis!

[LewisM]

That's too big an effort.

[Placidus]

New one to me.

If others hadn't said it was CG12 and won, and in context, I'd have guessed the one-eyed squid nebula, and expected a cigar.

Nomenclature aside, the colours are great, and it looks very interesting.

Best,
Mike

[LewisM]

Thanks Mike.

Now if that big bright ball in the sky would naff off, I'd get 'er done!

[RickS]

Looks promising, Lewis.

[LewisM]

Ta Rick.

Now have to set the ROI in MaxIM so I don’t have to see the curving edges lol. Rather the ostrich approach than post-cropping lol.
