MyCn 18

I've had a go at looking for this little PN. (see http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=19264 ) Through my VC200L it looks stellar. I tried with a 8mm eyepiece but the seeing wasn't good enough to see any detail. I have tried to image it but my tracking wasn't great and have ended up with somewhat triangular stars. For what it is worth the image is LRGB of 8 mins 4,4,8 mins. You can see the lobes but not much else.

G'day Terry,
You definately got it there, shows the red in loops.
When you get better conditions you'll show it well.
Cheers, Qakka

Well done Terry, it looks like a tricky little beggar to catch.

Cheers
