Description

Object type ; Planetary nebula
Distance : 6,800 lightyears
Diameter : 5 lightyears

This is a very faint planetary nebula, with a very faint surface brightness. Nevertheless, I saw this picture before, and I wanted to try to shoot this object myself. Under good circumstances, I took 3,5 hours of exposures. I had to stretch a bit more as usual, but nevertheless, I am very happy with this result. Never thought that I could shoot this kind of objects.
