NGC 6781 in Aquila

[tornado33]

Continuing my imaging of northern objects, while waiting for the Ring nebula to rise I went for NGC 6781
6x10 mins ISO 400. LPS, MPCC coma corrector, 6 inch f3.6 Cometracker SN, modded 350D

Full frame version here (http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.com.au/Scott/ngc6781x6x10minsiso400lpsmod350d6in chfilteredb.jpg)

After 6 subs it clouded over so the Ring nebula will have to wait for another time.

Interesting looking PN....needs long FL, though:D

A great looking PN Scott, the colour is interesting.

Ah, yet another cosmic ring aftermath, they're everywhere huh? Wonder how many PN's are known?

Thanks.
When I turn off the magnitude limit in Star Atlas pro, it shows incredible numbers of planetary nebulas particularily near the galactic plane, but many of them are a few seconds or less in size, and/or mag 18 or fainter, not worth even the big RC people going after unless theyve got a site with exceptional seeing.

Something like 4000 or so, for memory.
