IC 1514 "The Crystal Ball Nebula"

[Bizibilder]

I've not often seen this planetary nebula imaged - it's a bit small but interesting none the less.  In Taurus and about 600ly away, Discovered by Herschel in 1790.

ED120APO, EQ6 EQMOD, ST80 PHD guiding

5min subs, modded Canon 1000D

processed in DSS and PS.

24 x 5mins lights = 2hrs exposure

24 bias and 24flats.

Full size crop and full frame - as always needs more data!!:

I think you're getting confused with NGC 1514 (the Crystal Ball Nebula discovered by Herschel), which is a PN in Taurus. IC 1514 is a galaxy in Aquarius.

This is the Crystal Ball Nebula.

You may well be correct but this post is from 2014, why bother, I am sure Roger just made a simple mistake.
