Hi all
Another "faint fuzzy"
Got this over 2 nights as I attented an astronomy talk on Thursday night and got 5 subs done after I got home. Got 6 more earlier tonight but was very hazy from the dust storms, so I gave less emphasis to tonights data (about 35 %) because it was more noisy
11x10 mins ISO400. LPS filter , MPCC coma corrector, modded 350d , 10 inch f5.6 scope off axis guided.
Its large but very faint, had to push it to get anything.

Im off to Taree for the weekend visiting family there so no imaging or net access for me till Sunday PM :(

Nice image Scott, the star colours add to the surroundings of the planetary.

Very nice Scott.

I have never heard of it.
What's the angular size of the object?

Regards

Very cool. Nice work Scott. Would be an interesting object with a bit more FL behind it. Should be quite a challenge. Thanks for sharing.

Just as interesting as the pn imo is the numerous string formations of stars in the background. Nice colours too. :thumbsup:

That's a great capture Scott, very ghostly in it's appearance.

Nice one Scott. Looks like it needs hours worth of exposure to bring out the detail in this one.

Nice capture.
