Description

Abell 31 or SH2-290 is a very large planetary nebula. It is faint and usually imaged using narrowband filters.

As usual, S.Brunier took a set of RGB data (3x3 hours) at the focus of the 1m C2PU deltagraph under good seeing.

The processing was quite difficult as signal is faint without narrowband filters, with low contrast. It was noisy and I spent a lot of time extracting the fainstest extensions. The faintsest stars are close to magnitude 24 and amany galaxies are visible through the nebula.

See the full resolution !

We might add some luminance and Ha data in the future ;)
