Jones 1 - again.

[Komet]

Strange coincidence. A little imaged object - twice in a week and unconnected. I was rather surprised to see Francks image as it is a bit of a rarity. Anyway here is my take ....

Its a large albeit awkward target. Not a lot in RGB but very obvious in Ha and OIII. Limited time on this as the weather has been so bad virtually all year, one evening every couple of weeks does tend to cramp your style somewhat. Don't get me started on the moon ....

Nice to see the small area of faint nebulosity at lower right of the PN

Lovely delicate image Mick - well done

[Ant]

It's nice to see something new

Never even heard of it Mick, looks quite faint and wispy even after the 20 minute subs. Are you going to add more data?

cheers

Reading the Wikipedia entry, the blue star at the center is the source of the ring, nicely captured!

[sologuitarist61]

Very nice and well processed

[Gina]

Lovely, delicate image Is there really anything other than OIII in the nebula?

[Stargazer Jack]

Very nice image

[WaveSoarer]

That's a lovely image. I like how you've captured the delicacy of the nebula and the vivid colours of the stars.

Great shot, Mick! I'm adding this to my to-do list.

Tell me, though, how do you find enough back-focus on the MN190 to use the SX-AO unit? I have the AO unit too but have nowhere near enough back focus to use it with my QSI camera with the built-in filters and OAG.

I don't use Active Optics. I use the SX Off Axis Guider - this on the SX filter wheel.

Thankyou for all the comments. I would love to be able to put a lot of time into this as it really needs it. Unfortunately, like most of the rest of the UK the weather dictates the time and for months it has been rubbish. Even when its clear the seeing is poor as the atmosphere has been soaked.

<< I don't use Active Optics. I use the SX Off Axis Guider

Ah, right; I misread your OP.

<< Even when its clear the seeing is poor as the atmosphere has been soaked

Second that! I can't remember a year with so many milky wet skies. And of course the few promising nights just inevitably seem to come around full Moon.
