Ninja Star NGC4361 Planetary Nebula

[EzyStyles]

Hi Guys,

Took this 2 nights ago of NGC4361. Once again, ive made up the name of it as it looks like a ninja star to me. quite a weird looking thing.

7 x 3 minutes at ISO 400 .

A very interesting planetary and as you say a very unusual shape. I will have to have a look at this one as well.

A great image as well Eric, you have captured some nice colours as well into its centre.

Cheers

youve been giving the planetaries a good workout of late, objects we dont get too often. i havent tackled these yet ....

cheers for now.

[EzyStyles]

Thanks Ric. Yes not a common planetary. I havent heard or seen this one before until i did a search.

Thanks Alchemy. just want to image something different now and then, after the PN's, probably the galaxies :)

Nice shot there. Thats right in the middle of Corvus, you must have shot that in the morning hours to get it.

Move over Messier and Caldwell, now presenting the EzyStyles Catalogue of Planetary Nebulae.:lol: Wack a barlow into the imaging train to see if you get some detail. What will be the next surprise target? Keep them coming. You could catalogue them in numerical order on your website.

Great photo!

Q: Shouldn't the date on your pic read 04/01/2008 and not 04/01/2008. Is it just me or do others get this mixed up as well?

I'm starting to write the date with the year listed first followed by the month then day ie. 2008/01/04.

Great pic though! Well done. :thumbsup:

[EzyStyles]

thanks for pointing that out matt suppose to be 04/01/08.

Great work as always. Ninja as in a Shuriken? One of those star thingies they use? I agree - a great name - it should stick.
