Description

Object type : planetary nebula
Distance : 1,520 lightyears
Apparent dimensions in the sky : 2′.2

This rather small nebula is not difficult to shoot, due to the rather high surface brightness. But the nebula is rather small, and this makes it difficult to get some nice detail in the nebula self. That's why I took over 3 hours of exposures. The guiding was good, and together with this amount of exposures, I am confident with this result. Happy with this amount of detail.
