R Aquarii - A symbiotic star

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Cheers Ray, yes, R Aquarii was one of the early HST targets, done before it got its corrective glasses, but more zoomed right into the star.

Glad you enjoyed the view Ray, there are so many intriguing objects out there that we don't see imaged

Brilliant the way that you find unusual and interesting object to capture Mike.

That's very good Mike.

At the very least, it is more interesting than the last (and probably next) one hundred and one iterations of M42... imho)

A friend Sakib Rasool helps on occasions, in fact and along with many other suggestions, he suggested R Aquarii to me and it looked interesting so an excellent suggestion I recon

Cheers Clive ....although once I get my wide field setup running, I will likely hit the M42 region again

Wow, Mike, that's awesome - the image visually, photographing a rare object, and potentially finding something new!
