StDr 1 is a fabulous new Planetary Nebula discovered by Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner in October 2019.
This PN is exceptionally dim located far from earth at 9200 light years, requiring lots of exposure to capture sufficient Ha and Oiii.

Marcel's description:
STROTTNER-DRECHSLER 1 / COCO'S NEBULA
StDr1 (PNG 185.1+-0.9) is a new spectrum confirmed planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation of Taurus.
The PN was discovered in October 2019 by myself and my friend Xavier Strottner and photographed by our friend Rochus Hess.
The potential central star of StDr 1 is located at coordinates 05:53:48.86 +24:02:41.45.
If this star is used as a calculation basis, then StDr 1 is located at a distance of 9203 light years from Earth.
For a PN at this distance, it is unusually bright.
Discoverers: Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner

Marcel's version got a well deserved IOTD 1/2/2021.
