Went for another faint one tonight, this time a Planetary Neb, Abell 29 in Pyxis.
6x10mins iso 400. LPS filter, MPCC coma corrector. 6 inch F3.6 SN. Its rather faint, sky conditions were quite good and it was at the zenith when I finished the imaging run. It would be a real challenge visually especially as most of its light is red in colour.
