Happy Christmas to all. I often used to go over to Leicester to have Christmas with my folks back in the eighties. I miss it, but I had the bright idea, at least, of ordering some Christmas Pudding over the net to be delivered to this mince pieless corner of southern France!!!

Happy Birthday Olly, is there not a christmas tree nebula :D? Or am I going mad.

 

There is and it's the one on the left, though upside down from a Christmas Tree perspective!

Happy one Olly, that there rosette nebula is my fave DSO, I wish I could see it!

It's 100% about a dark site. Before I emigrated I went to Spain in the winter with a 4 inch Genesis and saw it for the first ime with an O111 filter. I now see it either in a TeleVue Pronto with 2 inch EP and O11 filter or just in Leica 8x42 bins unfiltered. It's very subtle in the bins but it's there. What an object, I totally agree!
