An unusual object. This is a Cometary Globule.

There are only a few images around of this southern object.

Thomas Davis has the best one.

Here is my version taken about 3 weeks ago under good to excellent seeing.

Tak BRC250, Apogee U16M camera, Tak NJP mount and Baader filters (these filters have excellent red response).

LRGB 105 45 45 30.

Excellent!! Did you see my response to your filter question? Have you measured your G2V adjustments for each Baader filter?

This is an unusual looking object!

I imagine this is a very difficult object to get good results on.

Very nice job on it,it looks good!
