Description

From Wikipedia:
Jones-Emberson 1 (PK 164+31.1), also known as the Headphone Nebula, is a 14th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation Lynx at a distance of 1600 light years. It is a larger planetary with low surface brightness. The 16.8-magnitude central star is a very blue white dwarf.

I actually finished capturing this target back in February, and finished the processing in early August, but have not had time to post it. Now I don't remember if there was anything unusual about the processing workflow. One thing I did learn while researching this target was that the PK designation used for planetary nebula is not an index number but a galactic coordinate.
