Description

EGB 6 is an old, large planetary nebula with an extremely low surface brightness. It was discovered by Ellis, Grayson and Bond in 1984 while visually searching prints from the Palomar Sky Survey.
The extremely low surface brightness of the nebula required 40 hours of recording in the Ha band and 30 hours in the OIII band. Additionally, I made 4 hours for LRGB  just for the stars.
