LoTr5 and NGC4725

[emyliano2000]

Not too long ago I finished a photo of the NGC4725 galaxy and very soon after, a friend  told me about the LoTr5 planetary nebula located close by in the night sky as seen from Earth. Obviously, the distance between the 2 is astronomical, the planetary nebula is in our Milky-Way galaxy at 1650 light-years from us and the NGC4725 galaxy at 41 million light-years away.

The following month, after I finished shooting the galaxy, was spent to gather enough data for LoTr5 so I can make a 2 panel mosaic which would include both the nebula and the galaxy.

LoTr 5 is a large, faint planetary nebula in the constellation of Coma Berenices. In 2018, its parallax was measured by Gaia, giving a distance of about 1,650 light-years (510 parsecs).
