hi guys,

this is the final image in which H36 will be involved, since I will have to give it back,...it is a demo-CCD.

I wanted to make sure, to finish this most difficult object in one night.
seeing was very good and so was transparency.
6.5 hours total exp time.

Lum: 15x10 min
color: OSC 25x10 min M25C
9" TMB Apo f/9

all images can be found here:

thanks!

What an interesting planetary, Diets.
I wasn't familiar with it, but it's on my to-do list now.

Diets,

I'm not familiar with this object, and you made it pop! Great image!

Very nice Dietmar!
I have not seen this one before either.
All the faint fuzzies in the background make it even better.

Diets,

Greta job. Are we going to crown you the King of planetaries?
