Description

Sadly the 200p will be retired after this image, hopefully the new upgrade has a better focuser and I will not be constantly battling with wonky stars. It's been a fantastic scope though for a £200 entry into this hobby.

Not my best subs as the camera drag on my flimsy drawtube is really noticeable. Still I was after the miniscule Pn. Framing is off centre as I didn't know the exact position of Abell 9. RGB shows no hint of the planetary and very little shows in OIII, the Ha does show a doughnut shape in the stack, but is barely seen in a single sub.

This image is combined as a NBRGB combination using Pixinsight's script.

Abell 9 resides towards the right edge at around 2 O'clock.
