Why not image the homunculus ?

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

From my place (visually) it looks like those bubble eyed goldfish. Two beautiful round semi-transparent balls, one halfway behind the other. I see Homunculus extremely clear, but imaging is another thing!

This pic shows what it reminds me of, as it looks very similar thru the scope. (12" dob)

You clear the clouds and I'll happily take the pictures.

Hi all,

Here is an image of the Keyhole Nebula & overexposed Homunuclus.
Celestron GPS11, f3.3 focal reducer, Meade DSI, 30x30 seconds exposures.
Linden Observatory Nov 2007.

How would one go about imaging the Homunuclus in detail?
