Description

SH2-290, Abell 31, PK219-31, Planetary nebulaThe nebula is located in the constellation Cancer about 2000 lightyears away from earth and a diameter more than 20 lightyears.
I collected these photons over 8 nights in March 2022, 27hrs 21min integration time and a few of these nights under full moon.
March has so far been an astronomical good month with a lot of clear nigt an fairly good seeing, and  a few of these nights the scope did its job all alone out in the dark.
I am not able to find any name to this target, so I suggest we call it  " The Moon jellyfish nebula" for (in my opinion) the resemblance to this family of jellyfish.
But, correct me if I am wrong and the nebula actually has a name.
