A reflection, a dark, and a planetary

[wimvb]

No galaxies for a while, so I've pointed my scope at other objects for a change. Here is a nebula in Andromeda. The clouds in this region only have scientific denominators, no common names. Although, the main stars in the image are members of the (very) open cluster Aveni-Hunter 1. The small reflection nebula near the central star (HD 222142) is has the identifier [RK68] 118. The dark nebula has several identifiers: TGU H701, PGCC G110.34-12.65 and similar. Finally, a small planetary nebula near the bottom of the image has identifier PN K 1-20

Anyhow, the image was taken with my usual kit: Skywatcher MN190 on an AZ-EQ6 with ZWO ASI294MM camera

Integration time was 4 hours for colour (20 x 4 minutes per channel) and almost 2.5 hours for luminance.

The small planetary is interesting. Despite its small size, I believe I managed to capture the white dwarf that is left after the star's collapse.
