Description

I am not a fan of taking planetary nebulae, but only because getting the balance right on my big scope is very difficult and that makes it tougher to get the round stars that are tough enough for me to get anyway! It seems as though dodgy stars stand out more when one's focus is on the central star in these generally small objects. Anyway, I decided to go for this because I had few other options at the time, and it was during that bright moon period of late - this being the last object I have from that time frame. It was 50 subs at 3 minutes long each, which equals 2.5 hours integration time. Thanks everyone.

Simon
