IC 1284 is an object often seen in wide field images of the Sagittarius star cloud region. Here is an image of it isolated in a narrower field. There are several objects along with IC 1284 - IC 1283, NGC 6989, and NGC 6990.

A full size image can be seen at:

I've never seen this area, Jim.
Thanks for introducing me to it. It looks like you've done it justice.

Nice image Jim. How are you getting that camera to work with the filter wheel and the 3.3 focal reducer? I tried my True Technologies filter wheel with my SXV-H9 and couldn't get the camera close enough to the FR. Are you using a filter wheel or just screwing each filter in front of the camera or what.
Thanks
