Description

NGC 246 in HOO. Accompanying this planetary nebula is the faint galaxy NGC255 along with the even fainter photobombing 14.67 magnitude asteroid 1658 Innes which is that streak just near the PN itself. The asteroid didn't calibrate out when i processed it and while i could have clone stamped it out - i decided to leave it. After all, it was actually there. The PN itself is strong in both Oiii and Ha and lies in the constellation of Cetus.
