Description

I think that NGC6826 was the first 'serious" PN that I attempted to cover in hi-res. The technique , as was fitting those days, was that of short exposures (although not short by todays' standards) to "freeze" the seeing. In reality it was more like fishing in that you cast the line and hope get it big but sometimes (well, more often than not) you're landing a sprat rather than a trout. Be as it may have been, it represented a step change in results for such a small aperture (relatively speaking) in those days.
