Description

An HOORGB composition. The nebulas come from Ha and OIII narrow-band images. The stars and galaxies come from RGB broad-band images.

These two PNs are very faint.  The OIII emission from the larger nebula (MWP 1) can be seen in broad-band G and B images.  Everything else (the PN and background nebulas) can only be effectively detected in long-exposure narrow-band images.  They are actually so faint that I had to take some of the narrow-band exposures under moonless times.  I am not sure if I want to challenge something like this ever again.
