Description

NGC 7354 is a rarely imaged small planetary nebula (5500 ly away) with a decent amount of H alpha present. There are also H alpha jets which we managed to capture in this image. The structure of the nebula points to the possibility of a binary star system at the center. The nebula's outer shell measures 33 arc seconds.

Captured at Taqwa Space Observatory, Pakistan's only privately owned dark sky observatory (bortle class 1) located in the province of Balochistan.
