Description

Ha+HOO pallete
Abell 6 and HFG1 are a pair of alluring though challengingly faint planetary nebula lying among the stars of Cassiopea. Abell 6 is a commonly encountered and serene looking bubble-shaped nebula, while HFG1 sports a spectacular arc lik the bow-wave of a destroyer ploughing through ocean waves.
