ASTRO: IC1396 with serendipitious PN discoveries marked

One thing interesting about this image is that it contains two of the three
PNs I have discovered. I have included a markup of the image with the PNs
marked and confirming images inserted that were taken by Dr. George Jacoby
using the WIYN 3.5meter on Kitt Peak.

Wow. I think I'll call you "hawk eye" from now on. I would have never
spotted those.

IC1396 is rich in these little oddities. How about theses dark spots that
may be proplyds?

Nice catch, Richard. I've been very frustrated here in Kentucky, since
we've had only cloudy/rainy skies for the past two/three weeks. It is all
the more frustrating since I've been working on my scope and have also
bought some new lenses, and am anxious to get out and do some observing. Oh,
well, that's par for the course around here. Something about the weather
always being bad just when you've made some major changes to your hardware.
Murphy's law, I guess.

that coupled with discovering that the adaptors need to be modified a bit to
get things to fully come to focus....

I can appreciate that. I also bought a new polar alignment scope and it
didn't quite fit, so I had to modify it.

Great image Richard, and very interesting to see these newly discovered PN.
