Hoag's Object

Hi All,
Last night's target -Hoag's Object. (PGC54559)
As the 10" is suffering flexure, the wooden trus has reached the end of its life, I used the 4" f9. (A small service will be held at the cremation of the 10")

This object is just crying out for the "big boys" to target. The ones with multi $10k equipment that turn out image after image of mag.9 max objects.

Further details on the object at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoag

Details
10x15min L -Dark combined and streched.

I'd love to see any other small scope images
