Globular and two planetaries

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Here's two in the not too often imaged category: the globular cluster NGC 6712 and Planetary Nebula IC 1295. Seeing conditions weren't that great for the most part.

Cheers

Steve

nice work steve, a nice pairing.

He, he, nearly as good as my 3 planetaries and a globular

Great stuff Steve, these sort of lovely pairings and PN's in general are all over the sky and more need to be imaged

Thanks Mike. I had forgotten yours. Of course there are so many stellar planetaries around it wouldn't be hard to pick some up when imaging another object. Probably wouldn't be that spectacular though.

Thanks Rusty. Maybe that should be triple.

Great image Steve - nice pairing.
I haven't seen this one before - I'll give it a try one night.

A really nice combination. Well done, Steve!

Thanks guys

Love it Steve!

Surprising amount of detail /structure evident in the planetary.

Great colour too.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Justin. In the last half hour I've posted a reprocess which I think has better stars. I was thinking that the first version might have been a bit "over the top".

Very nice pairing and a beautiful blue hue in the planetary. Great work as usual Steve

Great work Steve. Have not seen this pairing before. I was looking for two planetaries per the title but I only see one. You had me searching hard there for a while!

Thanks Jase. I hope I have this right but I think the other planetary is the teal blue dot about two IC1295 diameters to the upper right of IC1295.

Now that is something a little different. Good composition Steve. Lovely blue in the PN.

Thanks Paul. I mostly go for the less imaged stuff.

...and so it is Steve! I missed it on the first pass but now you point it out, wow. very tiny angular size. Excellent imaging!

Thanks again Jase. The OIII colour is a good way of picking out tiny planetaries'

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Nice one. Pleasing.

Wow Steve, now that's a star field. Nice pairing and lovely golden stars.
