Description

NGC2826, popularly known as the Blinking nebula, in Cygnus. The shell of this nebua is perfectly round, completely opaque and about 40" in diameter. A fainter shell surrounds the inner nebula and showing both of them on the same picture required to take data with 2 different exposure times: 120s for the fainter shell and 30s for the inner nebula, in order not to overexpose it.
