Description

Abell 37, also known as IC 972, is a rarely imaged faint planetary nebula located 8000 light years away in the constellation of Virgo at a declination of -17 degrees. This 13.9 magnitude nebula spans almost 1 arc-minute in our apparent view, which corresponds to an actual diameter of 2 light years.

Also copied from Gary Imm who has a fine version. Thanks Gary, saves me some time.

Note the two very small lovely galaxies in the bottom right corner. Unfortunately PixInsight does not tell us what they are.

Both Oiii and Ha are very strong for this PN. My Original image is the pure RGB version, and version C image is HOO.
