Difficult little PN to image very nicely done Frank it has a 3D look about it.

Like to give it a try sometime ourselves

Good work Frank. Nothing like a challenging small angular target to cut your teeth on. It has come out really well.

[spearo]

Many thanks everyone!
I really wish I'd been able to shoot more subs, four is not really enough

hopefully this weekend i will (weather permitting) get to tweak my gear a bit more including tracking so I can have another go at it soon

thanks for all the positive feedback

Nice to see a colour planetary neb image .. looks good. Shame about the slight softness and oval stars, but you're working at very long focal length there, so a great effort considering! :thumbsup:

Great catch Frank!

Thanks Louie and Roger,
Roger,
you're spot on. I really need more than 4 subs so i can pick out the best of them before stacking and i need some time to spend sorting out my autoguiding etc.i was hoping to have a day off tomorrow and be at it tonight but the boss asked me to cancel my day off tomorrow so here I am...at the comp instead of under the stars...
oh well ..there's always tomorrow

I'll second that, she's a little beauty.
Nice to see an object from 'off the beaten track' so to speak.
