MZ3, Bug and NGC 6337 planetaries

Hi all
With clear skies and being on a sat night I had a long imaging night last night.

First cab off the rank is the final Menzel planetary, MZ3, the Ant Nebula. Its surprisingly brignt in HA so used 5 minute subs instead of 10 mins.
13x5mins
Full frame here

Next is the Bug Nebula. 3x5 mins
Full frame here

Finally the longest run of the night, NGC 6337. 7x10mins.
Full frame here

Ive shown a full res. crop as well as full frame views. All taken with modded 350D camera, Baader MPCC coma corrector and Idas LPS filter. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Off axis hand guided as usual. Temp around 10 degrees. A real planetary nebula fest
