Hi all, By the specifications on this object, thought it could be a good one. The size of 0.7' is fairly large for many planetary, but the image I got was only slightly larger than stellar with a small elongation. I had to check the stacked image with The Sky to make sure I had it. Could be a good one for someone to shoot with a selection of filters to bring out the internal structure. It is bright and had to reduce my exposures to only 1 minute.
This image is 25x1 minute exposures with 14" SCT at F10 and Astro 40D at ISO 800. The first image is a full size crop and the second a wider FOV.
It is not an object that people will flock to look at, but now I have shot it, I can tick it off my list.
