Description

Object type : planetary nebula
Distance : 5,630 lightyears

This is by far the smallest deepsky object I ever shooted. I was never able to shoot any detail in small objects. This time I used the 'live view' mode of the Asiair.  This nebula measures about 1 arcminute in diameter. This photo is the result of 136x10 seconds stacked exposures in live view mode of the Asiair pro.
