Description

Abell 68 (PK60-4.1) is a rarely imaged planetary nebula in Vulpecula. This is the third image on Astrobin. Abell68 is very small, measuring 0.65 arc minutes and has a magnitude listed at 15.2. It shows weakly on the RGB image. The Ha and Oiii are of comparable strength, and both appear to have the same distribution, a very uniform boxy shape.
