Description

Photos taken on 23, 24 and 25 Dec 2022.  PK 215+11.1 is a faint planetary nebula.  It is about 3,000 light-years distant and 3 light-years across.  It has an interesting shape but I could find very little information about it.  The lobes are ionized hydrogen alpha and the core is ionized oxygen.
