Description

Last night on a youtube livestream I was looking for a bright target to hit in the first half of the night, one that I could finish quickly, and this one fit the bill! This is a small PN in north Cygnus with a diameter of about 1 light year. Although it is an Oiii dominant PN, I shot some Ha while the moon was out. This thing looks like it has an extended Ha emission which is quite faint, but since I wanted a quick two-night target, I will be leaving it as it is. 

Seeing at SRO was 1.1 to 1.2 over the course of the capture, leading to some nice detail.

Hope you all enjoy!
