Hi All,

This image is a crop of a small area of a full frame image that Tony Hallas took a few days ago of a famous object. It is a single 20 minute exposure taken with his new large format Apogee CCD camera and an AP 206EDF refractor. No dark subtraction, no flats. If you can guess what this is, I will post the full frame.

Rolando,

Marvelous images, all of them! I was going to guess a part of M42. Spectacular shot of NGC 7331 as well! Is this the 16803-chip camera?
