Description

Planetary Nebula SH2-290 or Abell 31 in the constellation Cancer. Despite being one of the largest planetary nebulae, it has low luminosity and certainly more signal should be collected than that used in this photo (about 10 hours). about 2,000 light-years away it appears to be very "ancient". The gases have expanded to such an extent that they begin to disperse into the surrounding interstellar medium.
Esprit 150 telescope - ASI 2400 camera with 4 nm OPT quad band narrow band filter.
40 shots of 900 sec.
