That sounds challenging Scott, great shot love the colour blue in PN and Nebs.

A very interesting looking planetary Scott, I'll be looking forward to this one when you have taken longer images.

Cheers

I wonder how often that one gets mistaken for a comet?

[tornado33]

Yes its large and diffuse, a bit like a comet. I could see it (just) in the viewfinder. Would be worth putting an eyepiece on and having a proper look

Thanks all.

Very strange object... nice one to pick and see what you can get That bit of illusive red would be nice to get

Considering the difference in equipment, your shot is pretty good .. there's not much more structure in the blue visible in that other image.

Thanks Scott for a fine image. I find N1360 is best seen with low power and it's easy to see in 20x80s.

[tornado33]

thanks all. Gee will the weather ever clear again, one clear night in weeks to take images
