Description

Hello Friends,

now back to the tiny things - the PNs. This time I went for Abell 72 aka (PK 059+18.1). An beautifully structured -but tiny- PN.
Also it is rarely imaged. There are again less than a dozen images on AB. So I perfect object to spy on.

The data was collected during 5 nights. Unfortunately the extream temperature differences day and night makes is impossible for the scope to cool down quickly enough to make use of the short nights. So the remaining tube seeing increases the HFR and I had discard a lot of subs.
I have used the O3 channel as LUM for the PN to emphasize it's structure. I have added the channel as revision since shows nicely the structure.

I hope you like it.

Please enjoy!
Rüdiger

Title: Uncropped FOV including many galaxies

Description: As John suggested in his comment I have uploaded the complete FOV. When I was annotating it, I was completely blown away, how many galaxies are there. And if you zoom in, there are even many more, not identified, but clearly identifiable as galaxies.
