Spiral Planetary Nebula NGC5189

I had never heard of this target before last night when Telescopius suggested it as a good target for my 8" SCT telescope. It's a challenging target, very small and with a lot of contrast, so I gave it all night (10 hours) and was happy that almost all my subs were usable.

Oh Wow!

This is a new one to me too. And what a cool object to find. I think you should spend some more time on it if possible, though I do like what you got. It's just so different looking.

Thanks, I might just do that since it seems we might get some good nights coming up.

Very fun - so many amazing little objects to image once you get up a little bit in aperture and focal length.
