Jacoby 1

[Petergoodhew]

Allegedly one of the faintest planetary nebulae, this really was a challenge but eventually I managed to drag out of it some structural detail. But then I did have to capture over 42 hours of OIII at bin 3x3! Not for the faint hearted!

Luminance was 18x300 bin 1x1.

RGB were each 10x300 bin 1x1.

Captured on my dual rig at e-EyE in Spain.

Yes, very dark.  The e-EyE hosting site in Spain.

Yes if you've got really dark skies. Only try to capture when there's no moon around, or it will be drowned out by moonlight.
