hi folks,
this rarely imaged planetary nebula is located in taurus named "the crystal ball nebula" and it is not really bright. I imaged it with 2 different CCDs:
luminance: 9" tmb apo f/18 using a 2" 2* powermate
2 hours exp time -- 10 min subframes
color: f/9 prime focus; 10 min subframes.
seeing and transparency were both very good!
