Description

I learned about the shell surrounding NGC6164/5 from a paper in the Astrophysical Journal in the late 90s. I used to go through the papers looking for interesting objects to observe with my 20" dob Hector.  I did observe the shell several times in Hector using an OIII filter. I decided to give it a try from my backyard observing site in the NSW Central Coast.
