It is a strange one Rog but great image.

Looks a bit like two floating sheep.

Nice one Rog

As a welshman and therefore an expert on all things sheep... i think it looks more like a ladybird...

Billy...

[CELESCOPE]

Like that one Rog, very smooth detail.

Rachel's suggestion is "look what the cat's done on the carpet nebula"

[CELESCOPE]

That's the best Snail nebula I've ever seen Ron.

Seriously, a great image and a fascinating object. Do you have co-ordinates for it?

Lovely image, Roger - absolutely splendid. Its not the Snail Nebula though, quite clearly it is the Hatching Dinosaur nebula ...

Love to see a close up of this one Rob with your set up

Rog

[RobH]
