IC4406 Retina Nebula- close up

Hi Guys

Another small neb, 23 arcs secs in diameter, taken in a modified reverse Hubble NB pallet Ha;Ha:OIII;SII (in a vain attempt to get roughly the same colour as a hubble pic )

Detail is woefull, but I got the AO8 going at 3hz which helped a bit.

I must say, now that I know where the AOGer is pointing, Im starting to agree with Alex that OAG isnt that hard with good set up and a bit of practice .

Exposures were Ha 3nm 2.5hrs 10 off 15min subs bin1, OIII 30min 3 off 10min subs bin2 and SII 40min 4 off 10min subs bin2. Heavily cropped.

Also on my site at a slightly higher res.

There are many more Planetary nebs, but the rest are even smaller and dimmer unforch.
