Hi all
I was attempting to photograph RCW 103, a fairly bright little supernova remnant that oddly enough hasn’t been imaged much that I can see. On processing the image I found I had it, and also its neighbour RCW 104 near bottom left. There’s also the larger but much fainter RCW 106 between them (roughly centre image).
Image is 3 x 200 sec ISO 800 with 6 inch F3,6 scope, UHCS filter and coma corrector, modded 350D camera.
Ive enclosed a chart generated with Star Atlas pro of the area. Id be lost without this software for identifying these faint southern objects.
Heres a link to a larger version

RCW 103 and 104 are listed as supernova remnants, while 106 is a "H a region" (hydrogen alpha emission)
Its exciting imaging stuff thats not been captured as often
