K2-15 and K1-3 Planetary Nebulas

[tornado33]

Howdy all
Bagged 2 obscure planetaries tonight. I dug them out of Star Atlas pro, none are on the NGC or IC catalogue, and I dont think many colour images of them exist.
K2-15, in Vela is larger and very faint, 1 hour all up, 6 x 10 mins ISO 400
K1-3, in Scorpio, an odd rectangular thing, fairly faint too, 4 x 10 mins ISO 400. I had imaged K1-3 with the old 300D last year but it was barely recorded. Both objects emit mostly H alpha light, and show up well on the super deep USKT H Alpha survey.

Both images taken with 10 inch F5.6, UHC-S and uv/ir filters, MPCC and modded 350d, off axis hand guided.

I think these objects will be one heck of a challenge to see visually.

Thanks.
Heres Star Atlas pro maps for K2-15 and K1-3, also I got the area around K2-15 in Vela from the UKST Ha survey, K2-15 is marked.

Keep them coming

Nice bit of celestial detective work and a couple of great images. Very impressed with their quality given you were hand guiding.

Cheers
