Description

Not too much observing lately due to poor weather and/or moonlit

skies. At least the nights are closing in again at last.

One of my favourite targets for the summer was to be ngc 7048 so I

have accumulated a little data on this one whenever possible over the

last few days, between the clouds.

Ngc 7048 lies not far from Deneb and is a superb planetary. At

magnitude 11.3 it is not easy and it's central star (not visible in my

image is a faint magnitude 18.3. It is 61" in diameter and lies about

3.6kly from us. With a little imagination I can see a faint ring

structure. 65 x 60 second exposures through my 10"newtonian / H9C

combination yielded this image, which was acquired and processed in

AstroArt over a few days. Not brilliant but shows some detail.
