Description

This must be one of the weirdest PN ever with a nickname to match. It also has the dubious honour of being my last deep sky object imaged (at the back end of 2004) with the venerable MX716 before I gave it away. Oddly though the two aren't that much different despite the widely different image scale. scopes and sensor sensitivities. Presented here is the latest iteration taken in 2006 (and it shows) with the then trademark approach thing short unguided shots. Probably a subject I will want to re-image again with a larger aperture... on day not too soon.
