Abell 36

[Petergoodhew]

A very faint planetary nebula in the constellation of Virgo. It is at declination -20 and thus very low, even in Spain, just hugging my visible horizon. It is only 800 light years away with a span of 1.5 light years. The central star is estimated to have a temperature of over 73,00K compared with our sun at 6,000K.

29 hours 10 mins total integration (19x1800s OIII bin 3x3, 16x1800s Ha bin 3x3, 52x600s Luminance bin 1x1, 12x300s Red bin 1x1, 12x300s Green bin 1x1, 12 x300s Blue bin 1x1)

I do enjoy your images of 'obscure' planetary nebulae, Peter. Keep 'em coming!
