Description

NGC6790 is the last (finally I hear you say) of the quasi-stellar PNs. I promised I won't shot them anymore (even because I have done them all in the boreal hemisphere). The only way I could tell this was a bona-fide PN (without looking at the plate-solve, that's cheating!) is by the excess teal colour. The outer shell is barely visible (the excess green-teal colour on one side of the PN) and that is another hint at the true nature of this object.
