Many thanks Peter. I'd get onto that wide field RH view if I were you!

Thanks Steve! Yes, surprised no-one else saw the shape before - it is a bit obscure though - no images of it other than what Paul has done.

Paul has really handed us a gem here. I guess we'll all be imaging this soon lol
Cheers Rolf! And you gave it a good name too - the "Fenrir" Nebula! That drawing you shared in Paul's Ha post was uncanny.

Nice job so far. The STL has produced nice data, as well as the extra aperture too, making for higher signal to noise.
Thanks Paul. Yes, it needs a fair bit of exposure to do it justice even with my extra aperture.

As far as the DMs go, chances are there will be 10 entries of the same object next year! Don't worry, my opportunities to finish mine before it goes out of season are fairly limited (given weather, work and moon).
