Planetary nebulae


Notizen: As Abell78 is quite faint I was happy to get _anything_ as conditions last night were bad even by big-city-standards, both transparency and seeing. Abell78 is the small irregularly oval ring a bit above the middle of the picture. The round glow at upper right stems from a mag 7 star just outside the field of view while the mag 7 star to the lower left looks a bit strange as I had to manipulate a ringlike structure around it that was caused by my UHC filter. In the lower left is also an arc-like structure that seems to be an artefact as it doesn't appear in the digital sky survey. Taken from the middle of Berlin with an 8"LX200 at f/4 for 6x20 minutes, MX512/STAR2000 camera plus UHC filter.
