Description

Imaged on nights of 8/6/2020, 8/7/2020, 8/8/2020, 8/1`3/2020.

A faint planetary nebula located in Cassiopeia. It is 5000 light years from us with an actual diameter of 4 light years, and fairly small at 2.7 arc-minutes. This PN is very rarely imaged and there is almost no information turned up in my search.

It is, however, rather colorful, having good contributions of both Ha and Oiii, with a two sided Ha ring surrounding an Oiii central portion. A faint blue central star is presumably energizing this PN.

Also known as PK 112-10.1,PN G112.9-10.2,IRAS 23452+5107, PN G112.9-10.2,IRAS 23452+5107.
