A lovely image. One of those targets I never see too. I never gets above my horizon let alone high enough to image!
Thank you…Blue
You must be quite a ways south with its own suite of awesome targets.

Yes, I am at about 37 degrees south. I keep seeing beautiful northern objects that I would like to image but never see, but we do have some really beautiful objects down here to make up for it. Around the Large Magellanic Cloud there is literally a swarm of small scale objects, and the Vela Supernova Remnant is simply massive! The attached image shows the Vela SNR with my approx 2.5 X 1.5 degree field of view set off to the side for reference.
Congratulations for Astrobin IOTD to Jon Talbot with this wonderful image of A planetary with a bow shock - Heckathorn-Fesen-Gull 1
All the best
