NGC 2392

The Eskimo nebula, brought fame by the picture taken of it by the CFHT.
Taken from Austerfield with an M25C camera and a Vixen VMC260L riding on a 900GTO mount, still in the throes of being set up, but I had to have a try at this having looked at it the night before with the same telescope. The exposure was an unguided 45x60sec, and the aquisition and processing were done with AstroArt4 and Photoshop CS2 .
