Description

This planetary nebula somehow escaped my attention in the early years despite being relatively bright and of not meagre size either. Having been "burned" in the previous attempts to capture images of object relatively low in the sky (for the England's Midlands anyway) I went safe and imaged the thing at f/7.5 whilst I could have gone full length had I been any wiser. I guess you live and learn...

L is a synthetic frame consisting of the sum of all RGB, UHC and Ha frames, so there is little skewing in the colour planes and therefore the image can be considered "true colour".
