Description |
||||
PK164+31.1, also known as Jones-Emberson 1, is a planetary nebula positioned in the celestial Southern Hemisphere, in the discreet Lynx constellation. Its low surface brightness and moderate angular size (six arc minutes, similar to a one euro coin seen from 15 meters distance) make it hard to discern with a telescope, which makes for its relative lack of fame. It is, however, a very attractive target for astrophotography. This image is a collaborative project between Jack Harvey (SSRO-S) and Vicent Peris (Astronomer CAHA) remotely imaged with the 1.23 meter telescope at CAHA. Processed with PixInsight 1.7. Image is selected to be APOD for October 30, 2012 |
