Hi all, this object got my attention from page 71 of the Australian Sky and Telescope magarzine, July issue 2010. It has an unusual rectangular shape, and some very faint extentions that I was not able to record. Perhaps if I used longer than 4 minute exposures, I may have recorded them.
It is magnitude 11.2 with a size of 0.7' in the constellation of Sagittarius. Easily seen in 40mm eyepiece with its rectangular shape.
This image is from 15 x 4 minute exposures at ISO 1600 with astro 40D and 14" SCT at F10.
