Description

Abell 84 (also called PK 112-10) is a planetary nebula in Cassiopea: it has dimensions 147”x114” and magnitude 14.40.
It is rarely imaged by amateur astrophotographers: here on Astrobin I have found only a few images, and also on Internet I haven’t found many references.
The nebula however shows an interesting bipolar structure with two lobes of Ha emission surrounding a “bubble” with main emission in OIII wavelenght but with also some Ha inside.
Several remote galaxies are visible in the background.
