The Dragons Egg in Norma - Natural Colour Version added

I managed to get more data on the lovely planetary in Norma NGC 6164

This is the first full image taken from the new Wallaroo Observatory. The conditions were ok, seeing was not too bad but not as good as last weekend when I only got 20min Ha before clouds rolled in Inside the observatory there was NO WIND (well there was very little outside anyway but there was certainly NONE inside the dome )

This is an Ha OIII RGB blend (details under the image)

Natural Colour versions added:

Here I have blended the narrowband and RGB data to create a more natural colour palette
