Description

NGC1514 - A Planetary nebula in Taurus. This is an easy PN to image due to its high surface brightness. The IR version of this image shows a distinct "burger" like bilobed structure that is not visible in Ha/OIII.

We had a full week of clear/dark skies.. but with terrible seeing resultiung in no images out of that run. With moon growing, I had to switch to narrowband and this looked like a good one. Shot the whole thing in one night.
