Greg,
That's a pretty nice capture - well done. It's true, you don't see this object a lot. It may be an interesting narrow band capture.

Greg,
Nice image mate! I have been trying to get this one but it is pretty far south for me and is down in the muck during winter. I got some Ha data, but that is about it. Your image makes me want to try for more data.
Cheers,
Tyler
