NGC 2392 (Eskimo Nebula)

by Jim Solomon

Here's a decent NGC 2392 given the transparency (lousy), some flexure and tracking problems, and the moon glow. Scope was a 2x Barlowed 8" Newtonian (EFL = 2250mm, f/11.1) and the camera was an unmodified 300D:

A heartfelt Thank You to Messrs. Richardson and Lucy for saving this one. :) This is my first planetary since I shot the Cat's Eye back in August, and as someone who really digs planetaries, it's nice to be shooting them again. Full image details at the above link. Home page is:
