Eskimo planetary nebula

NGC 2392 is a similar size and magnitude to the Southern ring (second image) but it's a lot harder to get a decent image. These are taken through the 150ED.

Cool captures, Tony. :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete. We've got some nice, clear weather for a few nights - I think the moon burned off the clouds.

Both images are good examples Tony. These planetary nebulae benefit from the long focal length. Nicely done. :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Should the name be changed

In Canada and Greenland, the term Eskimo has largely been supplanted by the term Inuit. While Inuit can be accurately applied to all of the Eskimo peoples in Canada and Greenland, that is not true in Alaska and Siberia. In Alaska the term Eskimo is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Iñupiat.

However. Although the name "Eskimo" is commonly used in Alaska to refer to all Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this name is considered derogatory in many other places because it was given by non-Inuit people and was said to mean "eater of raw meat."

Oh sorry, nice images

Thanks Tony. I find myself down the rabbit hole wanting more aperture/focal length as the targets get smaller :)

Thanks Jeremy for your informative yet somehow entertaining posts :) Quite possibly the name should be changed - I'm not sure what the etiquette is in these situations?
