Description

Object type : planetary nebula
Distance : 650 lightyears
Diameter : 2,5 lightyears

This very nice nebula is difficult to shoot from where I live. It is standing at very low altitude, and just visible for about one hour. I had to try this. Prepared everthing well, waiting for this nebula to appear from behind a mountain, and started shooting right away. 58 exposures of 60 seconds I could stack, with this as a nice result.
