Description

Abell 71 isn't one of the dimmest nor one of the brightest PNs in the Abell catalog so it shouldn't have been too difficult to go one step further than I did with this one. Fact was the my mount was acting up and getting worse at it so everything was going to be short and fast. In this case binning 2x2 and little over one hour of imaging time. Enough to show what this PN looks like but not to the degree required to be on par with the other Abell PNs in my portfolio (soi-disant, I know).

To give it a bit more depth the H-alpha channel was assigned to the luminance layer, as well as the R channel. The actual R layer wasn't good enough to make the grade.
