thanks Marc. this is a "must image" for any new system I guess - it sure is a spectacular object, even at this resolution. Just read on the net that it was probably destroyed by a SN shock wave about 5000 years ago, but the light showing its destruction will not get here for another 1000 years or so. Bit sad to think that it is already gone - nothing lasts forever...
