Description

Eklund 2 - the Engagement Ring Nebula or PN-G 073.4+04.7 is a 144 arcsec diameter planetary nebula (candidate) that I discovered and registered in July 2023.

Located in Cygnus and about one degree away from StDr 172 that has a similar structure. It is rather faint, given that the image is the result of almost 34h of exposure at f/2.

Ra: 19:56:44
Dec +37:51:12

13h Ha
21h Oiii

All exposures are unguided 120s at f/2 and binned 1x1. A standard HOO-palette was used. The image is drizzled and cropped.
