Hi all
Did Heinz 2-207, a small blue planetary neb. in Ara.
4 x 10 mins ISO200 uv/ir filter. MPCC coma corrector. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, off axis hand guided, modded 350d camera. Crop (full res.) of centre of image

2nd pic is of NGC 6445 "little gem" planetary. Also globular cluster NGC 6440
2x10 mins ISO 200, as above for equipment. Wind was increasing, buffeting scope, further imaging not possible.

A nice pair of quite difficult but very interesting targets Scott – well done!

Cheers

fantastic Scott. Now here is a very good question, have you captured or found a comet? It certainly look gaseous and fuzzy?

Thanks all
I just checked the DSS survey plates using Star Atlas Pro, and it appears there, its an uncharted galaxy it seems, it doesnt appear on the actual charts. Checked Uranometria charts too, not only does it not appear there, but the Planetary Neb doesnt either!

It just appears on the UK ST Ha survey. Its very deep in HA as theres faint Ha nebulosity everywhere.

Nice captures Scott, you've captured those two planetaries very nicely.

Cheers
