I was curious about how this object looked. I could not find any image of it any where, but I knew that some associated dust was present. Therefore I imaged it. It is very faint and could use a larger aperture scope with much more time. I processed for the overlying dust rather than the emission components.

Thought? Short of a wierd looker isn't it.

Brilliant Tom. I love it!

What is the RA and Dec for this?

I got an adapter to attach my U16M camera to my TCC for the AP140 after seeing how good your images were.

Greg.

Tom,

It reminds me of a large version of the IC 63 nebula near Gamma Cassiopeiae. Nice shot!
