help with the name

[suma126]

Can someone help me name this object i found because it doesn't come up my location program it is just below jupiter and don't think it is lens flare this time.

I do believe that it's the Helix Nebula.

[Blue Skies]

Yes, that could be it. It is fairly large.

[Bassnut]

That would be a planetary neb called "Bruce", a hard sucker to nail :D

Hmmm, interesting, could be one of or the other, I'm guessing at Helix, when and at what time did you capture this object.

Yep....that "Bruce" is a hardy to spot:D

Might be the Helix, but it's so damn faint it's awfully hard to tell. How far away from Jupiter was it?? There's a number of PN's in the district.

Including "bruce":P:D

Bruce NGC007? The paternal secondary Neutron Quasar?
Named after Bruce the great of M Python fame?
I think I got it.

It is the Helix Nebula - starfield checks out on Starry Night. Nice job! :thumbsup:

Thanks for your replays i think it is helix neb it is evey to see visually just look for a fuzzy patch about 10 degrease below juipter but you need long exposes to get any detail . The camera was set at f/l 98.0 f5.0 exp 4min
