Description

PK 136+4.1

Abell 6 is a faint planetary nebula located in the Cassiopeia constellation. It was discovered by George Abell in 1955 and is 3.2 arcminutes in diameter. The central 19th magnitude star can barely be detected. Abell 6 is usually photographed with its larger and more popular neighbor HFG1.

Thanks, Eddie
