Description

This planetary nebula in the constellation Cancer is quite large but has a low surface brightness. I therefore captured only Hα and OIII data and RGB data for stars. Unfortunately the RGB data turned out to be unusable and I had to skip also a lot of low quality narrowband subframes. As weather conditions are bad since weeks, I decided to stop the project and use the data I have to create this image.
The stars are Hα only and the colors are the result of Pixinsights SPCC color calibration process for narrowband data.
