Description

Using a wider field telescope I've imaged this faint planetary nebula again to see the surrounding oxygen ring that may be associated with the object.  Imaging took place over three nights with a fairly bright moon and frustrating sudden cloud appearances.  I was eventually able to collect about 16 hours of duo-band (Ha/Oiii) data, plus 45 minutes of broadband for the star layer.  My hope is to be able to image this object with yet a wider field setup in the next few days to provide an even broader context.
