Back to colour NGC6804

Hi All,
Finally got back to some colour for a bit of a change.
Bit rusty on the focus, I'll be the first to admit.

NGC6804 has some interesting shell activity going on.

Anyway NGC6804 was captured with
12" f5
3x10min L -drk
1x10min each RGB
No Darks so used median filter on RGB
Combined, aligned, colour adjusted, doubled size and cropped in Maxim.

A great little planetary Jeff, as you mentioned the shell is quite amazing in what it's doing.

That's a quirky little bugger huh?

Would be interested to see it with better focus/seeing.

Thanks for sharing

Mike

Nice one Jeff
BTW hows the AO going? I imagine it makes guiding so much easier.

Yeah very interesting indeed.
Should be called the 'CA planetary neb' by the looks of it LOL.

Thanks Jeff.

Actually, it's the same except that I can't slew while in AO mode.
It does seem to tighten the stars a little 'though.
