Description

** Short Exposure Planetary Nebula series **

I spent 2 nights visiting several bright planetary nebula, dedicating just 1 hour of exposure time to each object. I've compiled a mini-series to showcase/document the results.

Like most PNs, NGC 1501 is easily picked up with an OIII filter.

SNR of the OIII stack was good, and deconvolution worked quite well to bring out additional detail. The faint flat edges/wings around the nebula are even visible right above the background noise floor.

Mouse-over shows RGB only.
