We Do These Things Not Because They Are Easy But Because They Are Hard........

[Craney]

Absolutely JFK ....   but  crikey, these are slippery beasts.

Three challenges of the Summer / Autumn sky  that have been 'interesting' and alas, probably not finished.

Soap Bubble.  (Equinox 80 0.6x FR  atik 414.  8hrs Ha 6 Hrs Oiii )     Stretch to infinity and beyond..... but it's there.

 

 

Shark.  Lum only  (  lets see if it is there first !!! )  Samyang 135 atik414   3 hrs usuable... lots of spoil subs due to Moonlight.     If you know what you are looking for.... it's there.

When asked, my partner said she could see a Giraffe....🤨

 

 

Squid.    Samyang 135 atik414.   ( 4 hrs Ha  6 Hrs Oiii ).      Is it there ??   Maybe.... a little blu'ish smidge.....  if you use averted vision   

 

Thanks for looking.   I need a nights sleep !!

 

Sean.

Before yesterday I wouldn't have located the Soap Bubble in your image but some posted a reference to it in another thread and I did some googling. With my newfound knowledge I spotted it immediately!

All I can say is well done!

Thanks Paul.   Yes, It is hidden in plain sight, once you know.   Only discovered a few years ago as well, 2007  by an amateur.

I like it because it is so round.

That would have drove me absolutely bananas as it looks just like a dust bunny that flats failed to remove!

All of them are dim  but you got them all( not too sure on the squid thou)  I call that a win win..

I think the brightest elements of the Squid are just discernible, and I love your ghostly shark.👍

I think  I need to get some serious aperture going with the Oiii.    I need to roll out the  10" Quattro.

Fight the monster with a monster.
