Not imaged often, vdB 30 was on my list of to do objects.

Excellent, Tom!

An unusual object.

Am I seeing things or is there an unusually high amount of curvature in that image? It appears to curve out strongly towards the corners. Is that just the fact of neb in the corners?

That's what I thought at first, but it just looks a little odd due to the "hole" in the H-alpha cloud.

Must be as I don't recall seeing that in your previous RHA images.

Nice image. Coming up to winter for you and the skies close in right?
Time for another Southern observatory?

No curvature there, just a lovely shot Tom, very subtle but beautiful.
