Description

This is a PN in Draco which has a bright inner core of about 20". Around the central core is a wide halo which has a size of 6,4 arcmin. Due to the brightness of the center, the nebula can easily be photographed even at full moon. To see the fainter halo i used a dual band filter.

My processing skill is not yet sufficient to process the bright core together with the halo :-(
