Joe, I can almost make out the pointed ends of this wonderful PN. BTW here is a link to the best seasonal PN's (some of them) http://www.blackskies.org/seasonbst3.html and you can scroll forward or backwards for the season you want. Here is the link to their main page: http://www.blackskies.org/index.html Look at the bottom and you'll find some interesting links like this one: http://www.blackskies.org/pn_gc_challenges.htm Four challenging observations of PN's in Globular clusters for the amateur. Has anyone imaged these? I know a couple of people who have viewed Pease 1 and GJJC 1. Just curious. These two also look like fun. http://www.blackskies.org/JaFu_challenge.htm Love PN's.

No, Patrick, I missed it. I was too busy fiddling with RoboFocus. Thanks, Joe
Pease 1 and GJJC 1

I still haven't been able to make my RoboFocus autofocus.
FWIW, I have not used any sort of auto focus for years. I have that feature available but have found it's much quicker to focus manually.
BTW, did you get any shots of 2011 MD?
