Off the beaten path

This year I thought I would try and image objects I have never attempted to photograph from my home in suburban Sydney.

This is NGC 4361. A lovely planetary in Corvus.

Nice image. :)
You have got though even faint, the very boxy shape
That comes across in the O111 filter in a 16" scope.
Always a good planetary to go after while viewing in the area of M104 and NGC 4038/4039.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers:thumbsup:

Thanks for posting this one Richard. It is always good to see planetary nebula images displayed well with lots of intriguing detail.

Thanks Rodney, Ron and Mike. Much appreciated.

I find with my setup, I get reasonable results with compact objects like PNs and galaxies. Here is my attempt at the antennae from the other night.
