Little Gem and IC 4628

[tornado33]

Hi all
2 nights back I imaged the Little Gem planetary nebula and surrounds. Note the odd shaped dark nebula at left, also globular NGC 6440. Idas LPS filter used. 6x10 mins ISO400. The Little Gem is just that, very small at at the centre of the image

last night I imaged IC 4628, but using the Baader UHCS and uv/ir filter. The UHCS is a stronger filter and cuts skyglow more even with the waxing moon out. 8x10 mins ISO 400

Modded 350D, 6 inch f3.6 SN Cometracker and Baader MPCC coma corrector for both images

Well done.

interesting rendition of the prawn, at first ithought it was too red, but once i recognised what it was, im not so sure as it does have extensive faint nebulosity all around it..... thought provoking
