Description

This faint mag12.3 PN in Cygnus is a bit difficult to image with a DSLR/OSC as so many stars around and over/under it significantly keep growing with exposure time, especially when seeing is as bad as it was.... No need to mention that almost half-moon doesn't make things better....

However, there was enough data to unveal some interesting structure inside of it and, even more, NGC 6894 is wrapped in a very thin "skirt" that I discovered first by the absence of red in that area and a slightly elevated level of green and a bit in blue. Do NOT perform a SCNR on it, it will be gone!

Well, a rose-red top on a green skirt..... obviously fashion and taste can be so... funny - even out there - LOL!! :-D

I met this guy last year already and was keen to see it again under better conditions. Still waiting for those conditions...... ;-)
