Murrell 1

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Hi to all

I've been getting data on this planetary discovered by Andrew Murrell in 2004 for a while now and it still needs a lot more. One of my UK colleagues requested an image of it as it has apparently only rarely been imaged. Given that the weather looks like it's turning bad I thought I would publish what I had so far and maybe add a bit more when I get a chance. This is a HaOIIIOIII image.

Cheers

Steve

Cool target and a nice image of it Steve. It's understandable why it's rarely imaged, it seems like a rather dim obscure ghostly bubble. Interesting for sure, and well off the beaten path! Thanks for the view.

Well done, Steve! Looks like a very faint, ghostly little bubble.

Very patient there Steve. One slight miss on the processing and it would've been invisible.

Nice work.

Thanks Greg - I think I'll return to more conventional fare after this.

That looks so faint, it barely shows even after all that exposure.

Geez.... you like the faint ones, tough ask from Canberra.

Well done....

10hrs, 14", SBIG CCD - I don't think I'll try this one....

Thanks Lee. Never know your luck until you try these things.

Hello Steve,

I hope you don't mind Steve but I have used some processing techniques to extract data which is barely brighter than the sky background.

I think it works well on your image.

Regards

Steven

No problem Steven. BTW the thing to the upper left appears to be the galaxy gJ150610.6-414842.

Amazing capture Steve.

A great photo of a new object for me.

Thanks Ross. Was going to get some RGB but I think I'll leave it as it is for now.

Nice one Steve and thanks for always going the extra miles in taking out these virtually unknown little gems

Thanks Marco. It helps the motivation going after something different.

Thanks, That is the best image I have seen of my Planetary so far. I hope you don't mind me using it as my screen saver for a while.

That is a very faint object. What sub length are you using on it?
