Description

NEW DISCOVERY: Strottner-Drechsler 16 is a new candidate of a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. It was discovered by the German-French team of Marcel Drechsler and Xavier Strottner in 2020 and has the catalogue designation StDr 16 / PNG 039.1-04.5. This photo, taken in collaboration with my good friend Sven Eklund from Sweden and processed by Marcel Drechsler from Germany, is the first ever taken of this faint object. Typical for planetary nebulae is a compact envelope of H-alpha and OIII surrounding a tiny white dwarf.
Coordinates: 19:18:50.58 + 03:27:20.82 Constellation: Aquila Size: 2.4 arcminutes
