Description

Kohoutek 2-2 is a large extremly faint PN in Monoceros. I found this nebula in the Mr. Vogels list of large PN and decided do give it a try with the new Optolong LeXtreme filter.

The size of the nebula is 6,9 arcmin and he is in 1800 Lj distance, quite close to us. There is no known central star yet. The average surface brightness should be only 25.3mag/arcsec²
