Description

Abell 43 in Ophiucus is not frequently imaged, probably because it is dim and small. It took me several nights to gather the data, because of bad weather.
I captured also a bit of background IFN that is fully shown in the original version here.

Abell 43 has other designations as PN A66 43 or PK 036 +17.1, shows a complex reticular structure contained within an almost spherical surface. It is located 6000-7000 light years away.
