2 obscure yet fairly bright Vela Planetaries
Hi all
Squeezed in 2 objects before the moon rose tonight
He2-15. 2x10 mins ISO 400. Its Mag 15.8 (H Beta) and is 24 arc secs in size
He2-11. 3x10 mins ISO400. Mag 15.3 and 65 arc secs in size so its spread out a bit more with a lower surface brightness.
Both taken with 10 inch F5.6 Newtonian, UHC-S filter and modded 350D. Off axis hand guided. Fighting some wind buffeting as I did so. In a few cases I gently nudged the tube to try and keep it still against some wind gusts.
