Ngc 4071

[Stevec35]

Hi to all

The weather at last seems to be releasing its grip in Canberra so, in keeping with my philosophy of going after obscure objects, I took this image of NGC 4071 in Musca. The seeing wasn't the best but at least it stayed clear.

Cheers

Steve

What beautiful. Among other things, I think a hard object and not resumed. It should be slightly larger than 1 '.

Nice shot, Steve:)

A x5 Powermate would've worked wonders for this object:)

Nice star field! The nebula sitting right in there!

Very nice object and well captured. The crop shows some nice detail.

That's what I thought exactly! Very nice to see it in its context.

Steve, really nice capture...

Really like this image here Steve!!
Nailed the colour; the focus is pin point and sets the PN floating in an intense galactic sea.

The 100% up close crop shows some lovely structure within the bubble.

Great!

You captured this dwarf very well! Never seen before, thanks for sharing.

Good to see something a bit different Steve.

Not your typical object. Nicely done. A bit like 4 wheel off road driving.
Going down unexplored tracks.
I wonder if there are any undiscovered objects left in the Southern Hemisphere?

More than likely.

Very similar shape, size and colour to the Eight Burst nebula Steve, nice capture processing etc

[Stevec35]

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. As always they are much appreciated.

Cheers

Yes, another cool PN there Steve, with those two faint cross streaks across the ring it looks like a small Eight Burst nebula (NGC 3132) huh..? :-)

Nice shot

Thanks Mike. I've always wanted to do this one but never got round to it until now. It certainly does look like the eight burst.

Small target, expertly handled.

Nicely done :thumbsup:

[Stevec35]

Thanks Peter!

This is nice. Great details. It's such a small object. I'm amazed you got so much definition in the PN especially in RGB. :thumbsup:

[Stevec35]

Thanks Marc. I was quite pleased with how it turned out.
