I have never photographed this Planetary Nebula before.

A beautiful object, rich in colour and detail.

Nicely done. Gorgeous colours and you can even see a hint of the central bridge. :thumbsup:

Hi Marc,

Yes I noticed the bridge. I've uploaded a greyscale image which I think shows it better.

Nice capture of this little baby Richard, picking up the thin bridge is cool :thumbsup: I love viewing this object in a decent sized dob too. Quite an extensive set of faint outer shell structures are there to reveal, if you can be bothered hitting it for a bit longer? :thumbsup:
