Imaging with a big telescope (8m)

Last year I was the totally unexpected winner of the AAO Gemini prize in which you submit a proposal for the 8m Gemini telescope to take an image of a particular object. If you win you get telescope time to take the image which in my case was the planetary nebula IC5148/50, always one of my favorites.

Well the data finally turned up a few days ago and this is my first attempt at processing it. Keep in mind that this is only one hour's total exposure. Gemini time costs about $2 per second.

Cheers

Steve
