GSC 08225-985 (J111827.8-520821) RA 11:18:11.37 DEC -52:07:12.6 (J2000). Is it a DSO?

Is the fuzzy visible in your scope or is this an imaging target only? If visible & you have a filter that will enhance the appearance of a planetary, like an OIII filter I think that might help you distinguish between a planetary & a galaxy.

Pretty long shot, but it might help.

Wow Phil - I hadn't realised that the camera can be removed and that you can actually look through the 'scope. LOL!

Sadly, I don't have a set of decent eyepieces or specialist Filters. At our local Astrofest there is an even spliit between eye-ballers and imagers, they congregate on separate observing fields to minimise the light spill from red-filtered computer screens etc. How astronomy has changed.

Cheers
