Hehe, I did the same thing. I couldn't find it either. Its up and more towards M83. I'll post you the RA and Dec. That will help. You'll have to use a fairly long focus exposure to see it. Like 10 seconds. Its RA 16.47.37 Dec -41.15.09 or thereabouts. That should get it in the image.

Cheers Louie. The leftwards leaning type framing works out well.

Hi Greg, nice colour version with good composition. You've shown the apparent layering in the head region quite well. What is the FL of the Tec?
Did this one as a narrow band last month but it's just about all Ha so had to reshoot to get the RGB, just haven't finished processing yet.
To Marc - if you use TheSky it's marked with a picture. The coordinates are on the attached plate solve from my reference image, or use the star GSC 7871 2823 to get you there.

The TEC180 is 1260mm focal length at F7.
I imaged it before with U16M camera and Tak BRC250 at 1260mm focal length but it did not turn out anywhere near as well for some reason. Stars were bloated.
