I need to add more time to this image to get rid of more noise, but I'll go ahead and post it. SXV-H9 mounted on an AP-130F/6 with a TV-85 0.8x focal reducer. 5 images with each filter, each 5 minutes long. Astrodon filters and True Tech filter wheel. G11/Gemini and autoguided with an ST-4 mounted on a TV-85. Processed in Images Plus and Photoshop. Comments are always welcomed.

That's a very promising image, Ralph! Looking forward to a deeper image. I'm curious about the green glow around the star - is that an internal reflection, a processing artifact, or....? Be thankful you have an ABG camera! My camera is NABG, which is part of the reason I have not tried this object yet!
