Description

I had just a few hours for this relatively large planetary nebula.  It is similar in FOV/size to the Northern Hemisphere’s Dumbbell nebula, and similarly is mainly Hydrogen and Oxygen emissions (not much Sulphur signal, at least for the short time I gave it).

This is my second of two images on night 1 in the Atacama Desert.
