Longmore 5 now in living colour

[Stevec35]

I finally managed to get some colour for the faint planetary Longmore 5 last night. The seeing conditions were pretty awful with a strong wind blowing most of the time but at least it stayed clear.

Cheers

Very beautiful little PN that Steve!

Wonder what that smudge is right next to that orange star, above left of the PN..?

Thanks Mike! I presume it's a galaxy.

Really a lovely little object Steve.
I really like these subtle PN's... such a faint bubble, the colour data is so delicate... just perfect!!

There is also what looks like a faint edge on spiral just immediately above, slightly left from the planetary... not the more obvious one further above that Mike mentioned.

Great!

Very nice Steve, Now this is a faint little tacker. Got working very well to get it so smooth and clear.
Nice Job.

what a beatiful result, its a real doughnut with a "hotspot"

[tornado33]

Plenty of detail there like those hydrogen alpha blobs on its circumference, and look how blue the hot central star is.

Thanks Werner, Scott, David, Doug and Rich for your comments. It certainly seemed to work out well given the condidtions.

Greg.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Greg



Thanks Steven. Yes I saw your image. I guess we both like the unusual and rarely imaged things.

[iceman]

That's a really interesting image, superbly done Steve.

[SkyViking]

What a beauty. A really well done and impressive image. It's always great to see these unusual targets being imaged.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Rolf. I have a few more like this on the list. Now all we need is some clear weather.



Thanks Mike

[Ric]

A lovely capture Steve.

As mentioned it looks so delicate like it's about to pop. The subtle colours are quite amazing as well.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Ric. I guess it's one of those old planetaries that probably wouldn't be there if you came back in a few hundred thousand years.

Fantastic result Steve, and what a stunning object!!

Your processing is also top notch. Well done.

I notice some people pointed out 2 or 3 Galaxies in your image.
Here they all are, marked :thumbsup:
Excellent :)

[Stevec35]

Thanks Ken. You've done a great job picking out the galaxies. I didn't think there were that many.



Thanks Frank
