Description

Hello all,
Here is my first attempt at acquiring the Jones-Emberson Nebula . The bubble
of expanding gas is the remnant of the atmosphere of a Sun-like star
expelled as its supply of fusion-able core hydrogen became depleted. Visible
near the center of the nebula is what remains of the core itself -- a
blue-hot white dwarf star This object is roughly 1,600 light years away
toward the constellation Lynx. 

With a low surface brightness and having a magnitude of 17 it took quite a
few frames to capture this target.
