Description

A very interesting planetary nebula, but extremely difficult to image.  With a surface brightness of only 26 mag/arc-sec2 it is extremely dim.  I cranked up light collection by capturing 2x2 binned sub-exposures with the 8300 CCD.

Also a bit small target for my 530mm focal length, but I am pleased with the details captured with less than 10hrs integration.

Definitely one to come back to with a larger instrument in the future!

Hope you enjoy!
