Nothing beats a long cold dark winter night. There are only so many people who can appreciate the sincerity of that comment and most of them are here on IIS!

Out of interest, how long were your subs on this target as I'm wondering if there is any faint shell or halo present on this PN. Enjoyed the view. Thanks.

Oh don't worry, some of those boring beauties are sure to raise there lovely heads again...and again...I have a whole new set of narrowband filters
I'm a simple un-automated amateur

so I only used 10min subs for the Ha and OIII and 5min for RGB

...all that is necessary with my scope, camera and conditions, just ask Ray

. I did wonder about an outer halo after the fact, this was just a test image for the new filters while I waited for one of those boring girls you mentioned, to rise
