Description

Abell 79
PK 102 - 2.1
PN G102.9 - 02.3

Abell 79 discovered in 1955 by George Abell at the Palomar Observatory lies in the Lacerta Constellation with a magnitude of 16.97. Its unusual shape consists of an irregular and widened, oval ring where oppositely directed lobes have emerged.

The central star is a relatively cool dwarf invisible in its spectrum due to its ionizing radiation which suggests an invisible, hot companion.

Captured with an OSC Dual Band filter and processed as HOO and Luminous for RGB stars.

Thanks, Eddie
