IC4406 The Retina Nebula, a PN in Lupus

Hi all
FINALLY a clear night sky after weeks of cloudy and wet weather. I used the 10 inch scope to image the Retina nebula in Lupus, IC 4406.

8x10 mins ISO400. LPS filter and Baader MPCC coma corrector. Modded 350D. Hand off axis guided as usual on the old Sampson mount (built 1986). Seeing turned out to be pretty good, wind calm but extreemely WET! Dew very heavy with the secondary fogging for the first time even with the foam dewshield on.

Ive attached a full frame and a rull resolution crop. A full res. full frame view is here
