so do I -very much

I have shot it with an unmodded Canon, a modded canon in rgb and in Halpha-probably some 10 plus hours in total of exposure over many nights over the last couple of years and have yet to get a satisfactory image

I notice that Zane managed a very nice image of this challenging target

check for the image of 3199 in the CCD gallery

the best picture I have seen of this object though is by John Gleeson
