Hi Bert,

I was just taking a look at your image again and I noticed that it seems you have captured a Fourcade-Figureoa object as mentioned and pictured in AS&T May/June 2009 (page 66) in Les Dalrymple's Deep Sky Delights column - ESO 270-17! [Excellent column by the way, Les, alas my subscription has run out......hint hint..... ]

I have attached it to this post and circled in yellow where it is, certainly, if you click on your Hi Res link and zoom in, it compares EXACTLY to the pic in AS&T.

Just thought you would like to know and also to say that it is a mighty impressive pic to capture that as well and is even better captured (resolution and extent) than the NASA version in the mag (yes I know its only a small B&W photo - but still!)

Nicely done! Bravo!

Cheers

Chris
