Description

... At first I decided that this was an artifact after integrating unsuccessful frames due to clouds or dew...
Planetary Nebula Longmore-Tritton 5 was discovered 1980 by A. J. Longmore and S. B. Tritton on photo plates made with the 1.2 m UK Schmidt Telescope in New South Wales, Australia. It was listed as fifth in a list of 11 newly discovered nebulae and is hence referred to as Longmore-Tritton 5. LoTr 5 is located just 1.5° ways from the north galactic pole and therefore the planetary nebula with the highest galactic latitude.
