Description

it is a very faint and old planetary nebula, its white dwarf is displaced. It has a magnitude of 14.74 and I have needed many hours of exposure to complete this image. It is only 9 degrees from polaris. It is located in the constellation Cepheus and is 980 light years away.
To obtain a signal I have needed 85 lights of 900" in Halpha and OIII
