Description

NGC 7026 (PK 89+0.1), for some reason called "cheeseburger" nebula, is a tiny young planetary nebula in Cygnus about 6000 -7000 lys away.

​​​​​​It kind of defines the boundaries of what I can image with this optical system, the image is already cropped by 60 % and the target is still damn small. The PN has diameter of only 40''.
NGC 7026 is quite bright and therefore the integration time could kept short, 30 x 1min per RGB channel went into this image. 

I contemplated whether I should show this here but as only 4 images of this target came up this year here on Astrobin I thought maybe there is room for a fifth ....
Hope you find this interesting!
