Thanks Mike. I can see why you haven't imaged it. It's a kind of slippery object in that it's already quote west by the time you have finished with other objects before it. I have several times missed it and thought well next year I'll get it.
I checked my earlier version of this from about 10 years ago and its pretty yuck.
Happy with this one though
I had seen the extensive background dust in others' images at times.
I should post a crop version which shows up all the tendrils and filaments, some quite delicate.
Greg.

Thanks Rodney. Nothing like a good widefield eh?
Greg.
