ngc6726-7, ngc6729 and IC4812 (update-Colour added)

[allan gould]

Took this at Astrofest this year but never got around to processing it as I was so annoyed by power failures that I didn't think it was worthwhile. Stopped using the QSI as I wasn't risking it after a series of cameras around me went belly up.
This was 11x5 min (QSI583wsg) with 10"SCT+f6.3 converter.
Coments welcomed.
ngc6729 is the variable nebula (lower right) while IC4812 is the double star and surrounds (upper right).

Thanks Malcom, the interesting thing is that its done with a 10" SCT and thats the first timeIve seen this type of diffraction around bright stars. Normally I see that effect with my refractor.


Thanks Trevor, glad you liked it.

Agree, nice work & interesting, I havn't seen this area before and the variable Neb is unique. Top stuff. .

Mike -
got bored with all the rain and nothing to do, so I finally thought I'd rummage through what I took at Astrofest. Nice to finally do something with some data.
Also thanks for the comment CoolHand

That looks awesome, especially the colour version. Lots of subtle shades, beautiful.

Thanks for the comments Rolf. Actually if you rotate the picture by 90 degrees the nebulosity appears to be a waterfall and really gives the shot a different feel. I want to take a wider field shot of this area probably with my 5" apo to fit in the nearby globular - if his rain would just go away.
