NGC7139 Another small PN

[Freddie]

I've given up all hope of adding any data to this any time soon so decided to process what I had. This is 8 x 20mins Ha and 6 x 3mins each for R, G and B with Ha as an L layer. I also did a version with the Ha blended into red but prefer this. Took a bit of post processing to get the colour balance to something I liked as the Ha L layer tends to turn things a bit pink.

Again it's a pretty small target and this is ~80% of my FOV having cropped off misaligned edges.

This PN hasn't been posted on here before so hope you like it.

and a bit of a zoom in

Very nice capture. Thanks for posting.

Congratulations ! Very nice image. It is very similar in shape with M 27 NGC 6853. Great work ! Good colors, details and shape of stars.

I wouldn't worry about the FL. This kind of image reminds us of the endgames of stars. Imagine a time lapse in which each star in your field ended its days according to its mass, putting on one last show. I think this a nice way to show PNs and makes us think.

Small but nice!

Great image. Good to see some unfamiliar targets. Where in the sky did you find this gem?

Love the colours

Thanks for your comments everyone. I like the way these small PNs emerge from the field of stars and just hover there. A bit of a zoom is nice to see the structure but it's pretty subtle on this compared to some of the others I have done.

Wim, this one can be found in Cepheus.

Great image. I must admit I find PNs quite intriguing. I just wonder what sort of display the Sun will produce at its end.

[Freddie]

Thanks. I guess we (humans) will have been wiped out by it before then or will have moved somewhere else so that we can look back and take some nice pictures.

Lovely star colour and a beautiful nebula. Great image!

[Freddie]

Thanks Tim. Monday looks like it may be a chance to add to the next target.

Great image. Nice colour :-)
