Wow - someone just asks, and next thing a picture's taken & posted! Top shot, Scott, of an obscure PN that would rarely be imaged I imagine! :thumbsup:

Really shows the brighter outer ring well - doughnut-in-space!

Good on you Scott, I will be happy when I can simply find a few more PN's, without the help of a GO-TO scope !

What a great capture! For such a faint object you really brought it out well, on a near full moon nonetheless!

This (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=20645) was the original thread regarding this object incase anyone was wondering :)

Thanks all. There are a number of ESO galaxies around, but the narrowband filter cuts them out. I plan to re-image this object in colour with the UHS-S filter when the moon has gone.
