No PN but rarely imaged galaxes and IFN in Camelopardalis

[gorann]

I am now and then trying to hunt down unknown planetary nebulae on suggestions about hot stars given to me by Dana Patchick in California. So far we have not nailed one but I do not give up!

Here is my attempt from Thursday night, which was clear and virtually moonless, although very cold (-18°C) so my cameras did not need much cooling, while my laptops actually needed some IR heaters to stay alive. As far as I can tell it was a miss when it comes to a PN (should have been around the hot blue star at Ra 04 27 33.49 Dec +74 07 31.77).

However, There are some rarely imaged galaxies there, including NGC 1560 and 1573, and a lot of never imaged IFN, so I am still happy!

So, 21.5 hours with my dual-RASA8 rig and ASI2600MC with IDAS NBZ filters. Stretched to the limits and of course processed with all the latest from Russ (StarXT, NoiseXT and Blur XT)

Cheers. Göran
