Cometary Globule 4

Howdy
Finally captured something Ive been after for a while. Its one of Astro imager David Malin's unusual images that I wanted to capture ever since seeing his fantastic image of it. Its CG4 in Puppis

40 mins of imaging (4 x 10 mins ISO 400) no filter, Lumicon Coma Corrector, 10 inch F5.6 off axis guided, eos 300D, imaging started at around 3:20 am!
Here is David Malins image, taken with the 3.9 metre Anglo Australian telescope (just a wee bit bigger then mi scope hehehehehe)

This object looks like a cosmic creature about to devour the galaxy.
