Ringlike Planetary Nebula WeBo 1

Description

Crop of my image of The Heart Nebula www.flickr.com/photos/terryhancock/15678334260/

reveals a young Barium Star Surrounded by a bluish Ring Like Planetary Nebula which is rich in OIII

I cropped the image to reveal the Core or the Heart of The Heart (top right hand corner) otherwise known as Melotte 15 and to make it easier to recognize this area but even so this object is still tiny so I suggest you view in High Resolution to reveal WeBo 1 close to the center of the image nova.astrometry.net/image/915659

You can also read more about this object here:

I want to thank "starsurfer" for advising me of the surprise capture and for exposing this hidden secret.
