About this image

Inspired by Grant's presentation of Variable Nebulas to the TA meeting held at Newbury a while back, I finally got around to pointing the Planewave at it last night.

Thats impressive Bob. You clearly show detail that my images only hinted at and show other features that I entirely missed.

I think you just raised the bar on what a really good amateur shot of Gyulbudaghian's looks like from the UK.

Lovely image and detail Bob. Might I suggest you have a go at Hind's Variable Nebula (NGC 1555) a little later in the year when it next rises at a convenient time? Would be interesting to see what detail the Planewave revealed.
