Description

MWP1 is a faint very old bipolar planetary nebula in Cygnus.
The nebula is in a distance of 4500 Lj.  The real size is about 15 Lj. The visual size is about 13 x 9 arcmin
The age of the nebula should be ar. 150.000.- Years and is therefor sometimes called the Methusela Nebula!
I saw several pictures of this nebula and was really interested if I can make a picture with a DSLR of it.
