NGC2359 22 hours

This is a bit of a fill in object whilst I am waiting for another target to climb a little higher. Taken with the FSQ106 this is a wide field view of the area in which Thor's Helmet resides. Of interest the Ha and OIII extensions which can be seen surrounding the main nebula and also the planetary nebula off to the left side of the image. There are only a few images of it on the net that I could find and at first I was surprised to see it in my Ha images. The PN's number is PHR0719-1222

Despite the modest focal length I think I managed some nice detail within the nebula and the larger image below shows that pretty well I think. Perhaps a larger resolution would be appropriate.
