Description

Taken over a few nights in May 2024 as part of a multi target session.
This tiny planetary nebula was only available for the first 2 hours of imaging so multiple sessions were needed to make up the imaging time.  Many of the subframes were discarded due to poor weather but I managed to keep 4 hours in total.  The RGB images were used for the stars and the Oiii and Ha for the nebula.  
I think it was pushing the limits of the C14 even at 3900mm focal length, but worth having a go anyway.  Next time I will schedule more narrow band data including Sii and take the subframes at a higher altitude for more clarity.

Taken at the observatory at Los Coloraos, Gorafe, Spain in dome 4.
Thank you for looking!
