CHART32 Comparison

Click on image to see the full frame version

By comparing to a high res image taken using the 32" telescope of the CHART32 team, under world class
seeing conditions (as good as 0.6") at Cerro Tololo, I am able to see what features I have managed to
capture with my much smaller scope in typical Australian "good seeing" (1.5" - 2.5") conditions.

I was pleased to see extra structures in the very faint outer most shell and with more clarity than
the CHART32 scope, which although much larger than mine and located at a superior site, used a much shorter exposure.

It's time to image some bigger ones! I'd really like to Longmore 16 with its jets in Scorpius. Or IC 4673 with jets and a halo in Sagittarius. Of course I want to see more from you, nobody does it with your style!

He he, it's thanks to you really Sakib, that I have imaged as many little PN's as I have! :-)

Ah filters make all the difference! :-)
Another awesome addition to your gallery! I wish you would do more planetaries, there's too many of them out there, especially the mostly unphotographed ones.
