Funnily enough I did think of you when imaging this pair, thinking "Jase better appreciate this...and should get him off my back for a couple of images time "

Thanks a lot Peter, it's a bit of a messy one though...no real symmetry, huh?

I thought so too Fred Processing the two data sets to have the glob and the star field appear RGB while the PN remained in the more dynamic narrowband palette was indeed a challenge and it was not a simple cut and paste. I probably should have collected a bit more RGB and perhaps some Lum too but meah, she'll do, the point I wanted to make was made

That full frame image is incredible Mike. I have never seen this object before such a cool looking PN with all its twists and knots. I really like the blue green colour with the pink core and its balanced out against that glob near by on the other side of the frame. Great framing mate. Jase

Who cares what it's called! Very cool Mike! Like the colour and detail and the other tiny PNs! Full frame is similarly cool! Off-the-beaten-track quotient is high!

Another excellent results Mike! I have to say that at the beginning I was not sure about the color combination RGB on the field + only narrow band on the object, but I have to say that this image has grown on me and I do really like now the "fresh" perspective it gives on the area.
I didn't know this object and have to say it is extremely interesting..
Lovely image indeed..
Cheers
Marco

Well, Marco I am not surprised...given time and exposure taste buds can change. When I met my wife nearly 30 years ago, she used to loath Parmesan cheese, hated it...well, after spending some time with a person of Italian heritage who loved pasta, that loathing turned to "hmmm I'll give it a go..." and then soon changed completely so that within the first year of knowing each other she was putting Parmesan cheese on her pasta (and Zuppa) with a bloody shovel! ....and still does to this day
