Description

A very north planetary nebula Jones Emberson 1 or the Headphone Nebula.It lies about 1600 lightyears away.  The central star is a blue white dwarf.    Although it is a fairly faint nebula for imaging it had relatively strong signal.  What really interested me are a lot of the surrounding galaxies.  You can see amazing color and spirals.  There is even a galaxy with an active galactic nuclear near NGC 2474 and 2475 that shows red structure which may be similar to the starburst of the Cigar Galaxy or from the active nucleus!
