Description

I took a quick dip to the Headphone Nebula, Jones-Emberson 1. Also known as PK164+31.1, JE1 is a 14th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation of Lynx at a distance of about 1600 light years.
Its central star is a blue white dwarf of a 16.8 magnitude.
The conditions haven't been the best while recording the images, but as I wanted to capture this one for quite a while, I didn't care too much. It didn't turn out too bad I think.

Enjoy it and CS,
Michael
