Well, fumble fingered or not, it's a great image, Ballard.
I brought it up in Stellarium and they have the name as "Blue Racquetball Nebula" currently (with Emerald, Turquoise Orb, Emerald Eye Planitary, and Planet Krypton Nebula's thrown in).
In the last 10 years that I've been torturing myself in this hobby, I've been aggravated multiple times with someone renaming known objects with somebodies goobered up idea. Casper the friendly ghost nebula is one pet peeve of mine.
I was revisiting your links above. LOL !
I noticed I have some crow to eat.
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-676946-1.html#11811555Here I am, take a big BBQ cover off my mount and telescope. Set down a laptop and plug in one USB3 cable, and I'm ready to begin a night of imaging.
I'm amazed at what a few pricy changes can make. Cameras that NINA can recognize. Real electronic focusers. A guide camera upgrade. And several months of head scratching getting things to work in NINA.
And I'm a remotest snob setting in the house, or worse, sleeping through the night to wake up to a completed session of images stored in USB thumb drives.
Get my cup of coffee and see what I got. Talk about lazy!
I have one thing original from my initial start about 10 years ago, my Orion 50mm guide scope. still working, still reliably giving the updated guide camera a great view for PHD2 to work with.
Anyway, nice image, Ballard. I'm wondering if it isn't time we employ some
engine lifts for our gear?
