Description

My first planetary nebula from the backyard. It is a tough object to image due the dynamic range and a very bright core. HOO composition with RGB stars.

M76 is located in Perseus and is the faintest object in the Messier list. The distance to the nebula is 2500 ly and its average diameter is 1.23 ly (souce: Wikipedia).
