NGC6067 and something ?

mill (Martin) · #1 25-07-2010, 12:21 AM

Made an image of NGC 6067 and found an interesting object in the picture.
I looked at many pictures on the net and could not find any picture with this in it.
The sky doesnt show it too.
If any one could shed some light on this, it would be appreciated.

Pic one full and pic two a crop.

Looks like a tiny PN. Interesting.

According to Star Atlas Pro it looks like PNG329.3-02.8 (aka Mz2) at mag 14.3

Lovely image too

Hey Martin,

Good to see an image form you, and a fine image at that.
Nice capture of the little Planetary as well.....

Thank you Darren

Some stupid put a big fat arrow in it too

The weather has been ^&%^$ and so there is not much imaging going on

In Uranometria 2000 Vol 3 Mike's name is the primary, Martin's is an alternate.

It lists it at 16h14'32.0" -54d57'30", 23" diameter, mag 12.6 with "Mag 13.7 star on E edge."

PK328-2.1 is in this field too, just left of 8714-1421-1, but I can't spot it. Crop of the top right corner, at the same image scale.

Thank you for that information, very interesting

This is a crop from the full res image. The top of the crop is top of the original. The yellow circle is about right for PK328-2.1

Thank you very much Andrew

Just a pity it is not visible (must be very tiny).

Nice capture Martin, nice image, Sorry though mate you didn't discover something new but you might be happy to know it was discovered here in Australia at Siding Springs.
I found one near Lambda Centauri Nebula which had me guessing for a while until I opened the right database and found it sitting there. Maybe one day we will find something new.

danielsun · #15 25-07-2010, 10:28 PM

Nice one Martin, lovely star colours!

Cheers Daniel.

Hey Martin, just jumping in to also confirm it is PK 329-2.2

I found it on Cartes du Ciel

Nice shootin'

It is almost the same size (22"), but PK328-2.1 is listed at mag 16.7 against PK329-2.2 at 12.6

4.1 magnitude difference makes it 44 times dimmer.

multiweb (Marc) · #18 26-07-2010, 08:07 AM

Yeah beautiful field. Very nicely done.

Wow! that makes it only ok for longer exposures
