Description

There do not appear to other versions on Astrobin. Apparently first observed on 9/26/2011.  

I did find O-III in the center of this one.

Information for this image is from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic plane (IPHAS) PN Catalogue

It is apparently 90 arcseconds across.  Morphology is suposedly "B" but seems Roundish to me when the O-III is added in, though you can still see the Red H-alpha seen in the 2m scope. 

I believe the imaging and spectroscopy was done at "SM" or San Pedro Martir 2.0m Telescope (SPM) in Mexico with its Boller& Chivens (B&Ch) spectrograph and OS.

Note below the size was based on a 120s H-alpha exposure on a 2m telescope.

Published data:

I cleaned up[ the colors in 3DLUT to increas the saturation and brightness of the Reds and to reduce the yelowish component in the blues.  This is with the CL panel:

Since I plan to image more of these (there are a lot) here is a table of descriptors from the original paper cited above.

Major and where relevant, minor axis dimensions in arcseconds: the measurement of PNe size was done from the 120 s exposure Hα images so we are limited in description of the exact extent of the nebulae.

Morphological classification: assigned following the ‘ERBIAS’ morphological classifiers to indicate Elliptical, Round, Bipolar, Irregular, Asymmetric or quasi-stellar (unresolved or barely resolved) PNe.

The additional sub-classifiers of ‘amprs’ were also used where evident:

one-sided enhancement/asymmetries denoted with ‘a’

multiple shells or external structure as ‘m’

point symmetry ‘p’

well-defined ring structure or annulus ‘r’

resolved, internal structure as ‘s’.

Telescope and date for first spectroscopic confirmation: a two-letter code is used to identify each telescope used for spectroscopic confirmations as follows:

WH – WHT 4.2 m Intermediate Dispersion Spectrograph (IDS) on the 2.5 m INT and the spectrograph ISIS on the 4.2 mWilliam Herschel Telescope (WHT) located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on La Palma in the Canary Islands

IN – INT 2.5 m

SM – San Pedro Martir 2.0m Telescope (SPM) in Mexico with its Boller& Chivens (B&Ch) spectrograph.

KP – KPNO 2 m

GC – Grantecan 10 m

OS – OSN 1.5 m Observatory of Sierra Nevada (OSN) in Spain

MS – ANU 2.3 m with DBS

WI – ANU 2.3 m with WiFeS

SA – SAAO 1.9 m
