2 Planetaries for the price of one

[tornado33]

Hi all
I came across 2 Planetary Nebulas close enough to fit in the one frame. Both are too obscure for the NGC list. 12x10 mins, ISO400, LPS filter and MPCC coma corrector, 10 inch f5.6 scope.
Here (http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.com.au/Scott/mz1&He2-132x12x10minsiso400lpsmod350d10deg. jpg) is the full frame.

The brighter one near top left is MZ1, one of the three Menzel Planetaries. I cant believe such a bright object escaped being put on the NGC list. There is a much fainter greyish blue one near bottom right. It is He2-132. Individual crops of them are here.

Also, to finish up, 1 hour on the Omega nebula.
Seeing wasnt as good as a few nights back, but not too bad, also fairly moist too. Lucky Houghy is at Astrofest, as he would have been fogged out, there was low lying fog over where he lives

To finish up, 1 hour on the Omega nebula.

2 for one! Bargain! ...and these don't fail to deliver Scott. Lovely work. Very impressed the structure of M17. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thanks.
Theres a fair few planetaries close enough for 2 to fit in a single image, though many are very small.

Nice shots, Scott:)

Like the two little PN's, especially the first one.

Great capture there scott, Although even after reading your tips to find the little one in the full frame, still had to move the chair closer to the monitor to find it. Well done.

First close up is really sharp. Love the swan nebula too. Insane details. :thumbsup:
