Description

There are over 1,500 PNs in our galaxy and most of them too faint or too small for amateur telescope to do them justice. This should have been a rather easy walk in the park by comparison (50 cm aperture in a very dark site at altitude over 1,000m a.s.l.). But it wasn't. Host of technical issues, bad weather, bad seeing and problem in connecting to the local server put paid to my hopes of acquiring a good enough set of light frames. Long story short I gave up in frustration and decided to work with whatever I was able to scavenge. And what you see is the result.
