Description

ngc4725 + LoTr 5 captured in LHaO3RGB and processed in superlum_HOO_RGB. Superlum is a combination of true luminance(120 x 60s) and synthetic luminance(194 x 60 s) layers. HOO_RGB is performed with SHO-AIP script.

This faint planetary nebula is most commonly referred to as LoTr 5, short for Longmore-Tritton 5. It was discovered in 1980 by A. J. Longmore and S. B. Tritton, who found the nebula on photographic plates taken at the UK Schmidt Telescope which is a 1.24 meter Schmidt telescope operated by the Australian Astronomical Observatory(source wikipedia). Its distance from earth is 1650 ly.

Please look at the animated revision C that shows ngc 4725 captured with the C8edge HD (details: https://www.astrobin.com/kbnari/B/) superimposed on the one captured with the APO 50/844mm.
you can appreciate the resolution and colorful differences
