The Rolling Stones Nebula

[Tom How]

I've always felt the Heart Nebula missed its calling in life - it should be called The Rolling Stones Nebula.

This is an uncompleted project from last year that probably isn't going to get finished this year, so I've decided to tidy it up and present it.

Total integration time 18.5 hours. A downsided 1024 version is shown on this post. Full details and the full resolution version here

[Telrad]

That is a beautiful image Tom! I like your suggested name too...

which part of this nebula is Keef?

[Tom How]

Thanks chaps - we will have to push for the name change!

Nice and deep Tom,

£5 lens looks a very good buy, manual focus or do you have some ingenious diy gizmo?

In my observatory we try to do everything with ingenious DIY gizmos if possible

Besides, I can't blumming focus manually for toffee. I still think a bahtinov mask is something you wear to a Russian masquerade ball.
