A couple of images from November - Prestgard 71 and LDN1529

It took a while to finish these images (or at least complete them to a point worth publishing) given the run of bad weather we've had.

Prestgard 71 - HaOO with RGB stars

This is a candidate PN in the borders of Pegasus and Andromeda.  Extremely faint and difficult to obtain almost anything after over 33hrs from London.

LDN1529, 1535, B18, LBN812 - Kutner's Cloud in Taurus - LRGB

Beautiful region of floating dust in Taurus, part of a large molecular cloud close to the Hyades.  Difficult to capture sufficient detail in the faint dust without washing out the colour in the stars, particularly in the centre.

Not heard of the first one before Roberto, Looks quite a challenge.

I really love these darks clouds in Taurus and have a few on my TO DO list, but need darker skies.

This is particularly lovely 22 hours wow!

Thank you Carole!  Yes, Pre71 is a newly discovered object.  Still only a planetary nebula candidate, not confirmed. It's beautiful from dark skies.
