Description

PaMor 1 - a.k.a. Patchick-Morefield 1 - was discovered by American amateur astronomers @DanaPatchick and @Kevin Morefield in 2021.  It is a possible planetary nebula; is 5.6 arcminutes in size; and is extremely faint.  As part of the discovery process Kevin produced this first image Patchick-Morefield 1.  When meeting Kevin at the CEDIC conference in February I proposed that we collaborate to produce a deeper image.  PaMor 1 is quite close to another planetary nebula We 3-1 which was discovered by Austrian astronomer Dr Ronald Weinberger. So I decided to frame this image to include both planetary nebulae. This image is a combination of the original data captured by Kevin Morefield plus new data captured on my remote telescopes in Spain.
