Hi all
I put in another near all nighter with my 6 inch scope, and noted while looking up objects in Star Atlas pro software that a field existed where I could fit in 4 plenetary nebulae (and a nice open cluster to boot)
Taken with 6 inch F3.6 Schmidt newtonian with the MPCC coma corrector and Baader UHCS filter on)
Ive also enclosed the Star Atlas pro chart, and a larger bersion of the pic here

Image is 3 x 200 sec ISO 800, ive labelled the 4 Planetaries. Some are really faint.

Yes 2 of them are rather faint but can just be seen on full size image, the other 2 are easier to see.
