Ic 4628

Hi again
In the window between dusk and moonrise and while waiting for this new planetary nebula in Sagittarius to get high enough, (see my post on it), I snuck in 30 mins on IC 4628. Seeing was surprisingly good, and there was a nice bright guidestar for the off axis hand guiding. I used the UHCS and UV/IR filters, and the MPCC coma corrector. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian

Lovely delicate shot Scott, sometimes the "quikies" are the best images

Wish I had a backyard with sky access I could see it was clear tonight and would be a good one.

another nice image, the UHCS seems to let a lot of the Ha through giving you a deeeper looking image.
