Description

The discovery of WHDS 1 (PK197-06.1) was published in 1983 by Weinberger, Hartl, Dengel and Sabbadin (https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1983ApJ...265..249W). For some reason it is more often referred to as WeDe 1. It is an old evolved planetary nebula and large enough to be a rather good target for my RASA rig, When I was planning my framing in Telescopius I noticed that there were more structures nearby that I could include in the image by pushing the main object out of the center. Those Ha emitting structures are part of Lambda Orionis.
