Description

Imaged on nights of 10/19/2020, 10/29/2020, 10/30/2020, 11/3/2020

Abell 70 (PK38.1-25.4) is a rarely imaged planetary nebula in Aquila. This is the fifth image on Astrobin. Abell70 is very small, measuring 0.70 arc minutes and has a magnitude listed at 14.5. However, it shows so strongly on the RGB image, that this image is pure RGB. I have not included any of the Ha, Sii, and Oiii I took. I will add a pure HaOiiiSii version to this posting.

This PN has a galaxy obscuring one edge, and the Ha forms a scalloped ring round a strong Oiii center. It very striking combination of elements.
