Description

KjPn8  is a faint bipolar planetary nebula located in Cassiopea.  Imagined during several days on november 2023 to get the even fainter and very interesting Oiii signal. It has a caracteristic hydrodynamic shockwave of H alpha and Oiii forming what it might be described as a croissant or a seashell .  I used the script NBcouleurmapper in PixInsight to create the narrowband color image. RGB stars were rescreened from my picture of the Bubble nebulaA detalied study of its formation and dynamics can be found here: https://www.astroexplorer.org/details/10_1086_309122_fg1
