Hi,
Is there something new in one of our images that up until now has not been identified?
What else would you suggest is carried out before using something like pier 9 to capture a better quality image?
So far I've :
Looked at the area in Simbad. Only stars are identified.
Produced an annotated image using Pixinsight. Not recognised as anything.
Queried the area in the Digitized Sky Survey. Didn't find this useful.
Looked at the 'StDr' catalogue of new planetary nebulae. Not present in there.
It could be a possible planetary nebula, it shows up more in O3.
Any interest in this, which most probably will turn out to be a waste of time. I've spent quite a bit of time learning up on things before making this post.
Cheers

The job is 1959 on pier 14 of CTA-1. One reason I believe this may be new is because the mosaic submitted covers an area not included in any other similar images displayed in Astrobin. In fact it is the pane not yet captured that contains ngc40 the Bow Tie nebula within CTA-1, thus explaining why no other images have captured the area of sky we have right now. Given it's high declination is another reason.
I'll share a couple of closeups and an annotated crop of the area. The coordinates of the main star in the object are
00h 33m 53.6s +74d 18m 36.1s
Thanks for the interest.
Cheers, Ray
This is exciting Ray.... Ive had a look on Sinbad and there is nothing there other than that star mentioned....P1 and Pier 3 are both scheduled to image the area. at least this way we can double check and confirm its actually a real object and not some sort of artefact.
Fingers crossed Ray

Hi,
Where to begin. It's egg on face time and profuse apologies to everyone for taking up your time.
Apparently when it comes to planetary nebula there are more catalogues to look at as I have now belatedly discovered. :( Laurent Huet was the discoverer and listed as Hu2.
Catalogue attached.
Going to find a rock to crawl under.
Sorry,
Ray
Dear Ray,
no need to apologize! Your observation got us excited and this is good. The fact that you found it hidden in a catalogue not everyone knows about is indeed disappointing ... but that should not stop us from being excited by such cases in the future. Your experience is good learning for all of us.
Thanks for all this.
Kind regards

Ray, if by doing this we can help to take the object from a smaybe to a solid gold "PN" then why would we not image it
Plus as you know I have a penchant for oddballs so lets just image it and have fun :) :)

Things to do, so little time!
