Description

EGB 6 is a very faint planetary nebula in Leo. It was catalogued by Glenn Ellis, Earl Grayson and Howard Bond in 1984 after looking through prints from the Palomar Sky Survey. It is big (8 light years wide) and relatively close (2100 ly), so it is old (probably 50 000 years) and therefore so very dim.

I imaged it under 50 - 70% moon, so not ideal, but the RASA is a photon bucket.
