Another obscure planetary nebula

This one is ESO 40-11 in Chamaeleon. Not very exciting I guess except for it probably not having been imaged in colour before. Conditions weren't all that good with smoke haze and only poor to average seeing for the most part.

Cheers

nice one Steve,
always good to see some of the more obscure objects done well.

Nice! The Ha + OIII + LRGB combo worked well. Super sharp too.

Thanks Russell. Glad you liked it.

Thanks M&T. The processing was a bit of an experiment which seemed to work well so I'll probably be using it in the future.

Not so obscure any more, thanks! It's gorgeous and fascinating. I wonder how many lightyears across is that halo.

Great catch, Steve!

Great work Steve.

Planetary Nebulas have always been one of my favourites.

Cheers

Thanks Rick. As you may have guessed this is another one from Sakib.

Thanks Steve. If you knew the distance I guess you could work it out. Unfortunately I don't think the distance is known for this one.

Well done Steve on capturing and nicely processing such faint object

Nice Steve Keep them coming these overlooked PN's are very interesting its a shame most are so small and faint.

Thanks Michael. Yes the majority of them are very small but there are a few large relatively unknown ones around.

Another mysterious blue-green disc...they seem to be all over the sky

Is this another Sakib suggestion? Looks like no outer Halo?

Hi Mike

Yes this is another Sakib suggestion and there certainly doesn't appear to be a halo. Of course they would be harder to see from my less than perfect location. You would probably do much better with your darker skies.
