RCW 103 a supernova remnant in Norma

[tornado33]

Hi all.
It was a beautiful cool clear night last Friday, made use of it by imaging Supernova remnant RCW 103 in Norma with the 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Once again used Sharpcap for almost arc second polar alignment, a procedure so fast its done before its even fully dark!

Image is 8 x 20 minutes at ISO 400, using Baader UHCS and UV/IR filters on the Hutech full spectrum modded 350D camera. really happy with the round stars for hand guiding 20 minute subs with the 1986 vintage mount.

Really nice Scott! It's not something I would have picked as being a supernova remnant, fascinating :)

Well done. That's a faint one, hard to pull out against the stars.
