Hi Guys,

This is one of my favourite objects. Surface area is quite dim and very challenging to capture this. consist of 14 x 5 minutes exposure at ISO 400. I think with higher ISO and longer subs would of been better.

A higher res version here:

Thats looks fantastic.

I've always wanted to image this object, not sure if an unmodded camera will show a result anywhere near that spectacular.

It almost looks like a narrow-band image

Outstanding image Eric!! Just love the colour and detail. Looking at the date on the photo, wondering if it took you 4 months to process!!

Nice one mate.

Lovely Eric, there is wonderful detail in the bubble as well as the way the wings of the helmet extend out.

A very nice image

Beautiful image Eric.
I remember the first time I saw this object in the Dob last year it was a thrill just to locate it. Lovely to see such a sharp detailed image of this unusual DSO.

Hi vash, you should be able to cable this object better with an unmodded cam especially the blue/green. I have used my unmodded 350d on this object before. Its on my website :)



thanks dez. think you got the date the other way around ;) i took this last week only .



THanks Al.



Thanks Frank,. I recalled you took this object yourself also and it was excellent. you planning to give this object another go this year?



cheers Terry.





Thanks Bass. this one will be nice in narrowband :) give it ago :)



thanks Ric. i remember my first shot of this object with the DSI. Turned out looking like a snail lol



thanks gary. cheers mate.



thanks scott. i remember your shot of the helmet wasn't bad either.



thanks davo.



surface area is quite dim. surprised that you can see it through the 12. thanks glen.



Thanks guys.
