Description

Abell 12 is a small PN located very close to the bright star my Orionis (4.1 mag). Due to this fact he is as well called the "hidden PN". The diameter of Abell 12 is only 37 arcsec and he shines mainly in H-alpha and OIII. The distance is somewhere in between 5500 and 8500 Lj. Central star has a mag of almost 20mag and is not visible.

This is already my 3rd attempt at the PN and this time with the new Optolong L-eXreme Filter.
