Description

Just before we lose Cygnus and all those lovely planetaries in that area, I

thought I'd have a look at a faint ringed planetary that I looked at a few years

ago with my trusty MX5C.

NGC 6894 in Cygnus, size tiny, 44" x 39", mag. 12.3, surf. brightness 11.2,

which is pretty faint for a planetary. The central star is mag. 17.6.

This image 60 mins total exposure made up of 10 x 3min and 15 x 2 min.

exposures.

There is, apparently, a lot of dust obscuring this part of the sky, from our

viewpoint, which may contribute to the dusky pink colouration to the nebula.
