Description

Abell 31 is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Cancer estimated to be about 2,000 light years away. Although large in size, it is quite dim. Capturing data was a challenge. Even the 10+ hours isn't quite enough. I may attempt this once again with my ASI2600.

Processed with APP and PI.  Since I did not collect RGB data for the stars the purple fringe around the stars was reduced by using a star mask and applying HT to reduce the concentration of the red channel.
