Description

Dengel-Hartl 5 in Cepheus is considered to be an ancient planetary nebula although some sources indicate that it may simply be an area of strongly ionized gas.   A quick glance on AB shows a relatively low number of images of this nebula.  I was fortunate to get five straight nights of clear skies in the Pacific Northwest during the fall so I decided to concentrate on it during those nights.  I lost my clear nights for weeks so a friend of mine in Tucson (Alan Rockowitz) shot the RGB stars.
