Description

NGC 5315 is a tiny planetary nebula in Circinus. It has no name but I think the Strawberry or Raspberry Nebula name would be appropriate. The latter is taken by IC 418 so I'm not sure.

Don't remember the filters used for this image at all. Made it several months ago but I believe I vainly took all the filters and combine them. Colors look weird but whatever. Also sorry for low activity, I've pretty much lost all interest in astronomy these days but I certainly haven't left here. Just not as active as I used to be. So thanks for knowing this, and also, happy 26th anniversary Hubble! Nice to see that this old spacecraft that is operating way beyond its original life cycle has been useful for this long. Probably considerably older than many people looking at my stuff. ;)

Data from February 8, 2007 from Hubble Legacy Archive.
