Lovely image Paul.

Definitely one that is not too often imaged.

A great looking photo Paul of an object I have never seen.


Thanks.

Which gum are you talking about? I thought there were a few of those?? Maybe I am thinking of another catalogue.

Graeme, I had hoped we would have gotten clear skies while you were still on holiday, and then I could have added even more. I will have to wait another few days now for the clear skies again.

That is a very unusual object Paul, but, its something interesting to pan around.

Yes there are a few tiny galaxies in the field as well as some nice dust/gas clumps.


Thanks for the link David, I must have a read.

Peter, given the weather that might be a couple of weeks away yet.
