Heres a planetady duo, 2 obscure planetaries in the one frame.
He2-120 on the right , and much fainter png321.6+02 at upper left. Constellation Circinus
12x10 mins ISO200. UV/IR filter. MOCC coma corrector. Modded 350D, 10 inch f5.6 newtoonian
Larger version here (http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.com.au/Scott/he2-120&png321.6+02x12x10minsuvirmod350d10i nch11degsmstb.jpg)
This bright red planetary is Shapley 3, looking like a ring of fire. Its 8x10 mins ISO400 with LPS filter, same equipment as above. In Ara.
Ive included a full frame image, and an upscaled hi res version. Pushing my hand guiding to the limit :) Odd that such a bright planetary is so little mentioned.
