Weird Ha Objects Suggestions?

[Astrosurf]

I've imaged quite a number of Ha nebulae and am running out of choices! Can anyone suggest something a bit odd?

You may have done it already, but the Spaghetti nebula (Sh2-240) is large, faint and I found it quite challenging?

Sounds great. This? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeis_147

EDIT: hmmm, too low on the horizon at the mo.

Yeah, that's the one.  And, yes it is more of an autumn or winter target.

It is also enormous. It's at least a 2 panel at 500mm FL with a full frame chip. Wonderful, though.

The Flying Bat Sh2-129, it's quite close to IC1396.

It's another big one and faint.

Been meaning to give it another go myself but this is all I got for 6x900secs Atik 383L @ 135mm f/2.

Thank you!

Hi Alexx,

If you really are desperate for something off the beaten track, try this one: Heckathorn-Fesen-Gull1. It will keep you occupied for a while, but when done, you have an image of a really cool subject..and you get bonus points for remembering the name 😉

That looks amazing! Thank you. 😊

[Astrosurf]

Do you have the co-ordinates for it?

[Annehouw]

According to SkySafari it is at 03h 55m 30s +64 deg 57min 53.7sec. So at a nice location in the sky for us northerners.

And here is my favorite rendition of this cosmic jellyfish by Marcel Drechsler: http://www.sternwarte-baerenstein.de/hfg1-abell6-en.html

Have fun! (but you also needto capture OIII to do it justice...)

Thank you! I have an OIII filter but have not yet used it.🙂
