Description

There are rather few images of this faint but large PN on Astrobin. Those of @Sven Eklund and @Peter Goodhew are outstanding in their detail. My goal with this wider field image was also to pick up any dust in the surroundings, and I was surprised to find so much of it (especially since I was imaging with the NBZ Ha+Oiii dual-band filter). I assume the dust can be largely be regarded to be IFN (Integrated Flux Nebulosity). My data also picked up some Ha nebulosity that appears to "leak out" of the PN in some places. I have only seen faint indications of this in one previous image (https://www.astrobin.com/o2m4bn/), but that image helped convince me that these structures were not artifacts of overstretching the data.
