Description

With only 30 minutes integration it didn't take long to gather the data for this bright (apparent magnitude ~ 9), double-shell planetary nebula.  Its apparent size is small, less than 50" X 50".  Processing took much longer because of the high dynamic range of the two shells and the nearby star HD 59087 with similar apparent magnitude of  ~ 8.2.  I was pleased to resolve a small bit of detail in the inner filaments of the bright core shell,  seen in full resolution.
