Three planetaries in one image
Yet another clear night allowed me more imaging time. This time three planetary nebulas in the one image.
Blue one lower left is MZ1, diffuse red one on right is He2-149. There is a very tiny one, He2-146. I processed a crop of that one less agressively to bring it out a bit more, it is stellar like.

Image is 10x10 mins ISO400. LPS filter. MPCC coma corrector, modded 350D, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Off axis Hand guided. Star Atlas pro map of area included.

Full size frame here

Nice shot, Scott

Even though they're small, there's still some detail and plenty of colour present.

Excellent. I love the mass of stars in the background.
All so perfect and distinct.
Hand guided - that's dedication. How's your back?

Good triple header Scott. So what is the limit in one FOV going to be?

Thanks all
I could fit almost half a dozen or more but most would be so small they would appear as point sources.
I like showing ones that are clearly visible as extended objects

Hi Scott,

And also well done on capturing the elusive Lynga 7 -- one of our Milky Way's fainter and "newest" globular clusters (bottom right just below the little ski-jump of faint stars).

Norma is jam-packed with faint but interesting PNe.

Well done!


Best,

Les D

Thank you.

I will see if I can dig up some more multiple planetary neb shots next time. I was happy to get that faint globular as a bonus too, thanks for digging up its name Ngcles

3-in-1, Bargain! Excellent work Scott. I enjoy your posts of such obscure planetaries. Sometimes, they scream for more focal length but these are presented very well. Thanks for sharing.
