Description

The Headphone Nebula (Emberson-Jones 1) or PK 164+31.1 is a14th mag planetary nebula 1600 l.y. away from us in constellation Lynx. The central star is a mag. 16,8 white dwarf.  With is's low surface braightness I had a hard time finding enough clear hours to collect the 23 hrs of data composing this image.  This is not an object for a site like mine with less than 5 clear nights a month in winter under very variable seeing.  Anyway, I gave it a try with ASI533c for the color data and ASI1600m for the narrowband data.... enjoy...  Comments are always welcome.
