Ds 2

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Here's another obscure planetary nebula, DS 2, apparently discovered by a gentleman named John Drilling. I know virtually nothing about it except its size (3'). I expected it to be a lot more difficult to image.

Cheers

Steve

Wow!.... you are certainly popping out the planetaries!!

Well done!!

Looking at the colour it appears that there is very little hydrogen emission; mostly oxygen?
Very nice though

Thanks Colin. Correct - stronger in OIII.

Thanks Tim. Not sure if I'll manage another one this dark sky period.

Thanks Rick. Turned out a lot easier than I thought it would.

Lovely almost symmetrical bubble with very fine detail captured. Enjoying following your exploration of the unfamiliar.

Thanks M&T. That may be the last one for a while.

That's so cute, like a mini sharpless SH2-308 - a planetary Mini Me
Nice image, well done

Thanks Andy. It was surprisingly easy to image and process. Everyone seems to be using the term "cute" for my planetary nebula images.

Lol how about What a "sweet" bubble! ? I like it. It's cute.

Thanks Kevin. Actually I don't care what you call it. It's just that "cute" isn't a term I've seen applied to astronomical objects before.

Thanks Mike. Yes I have quite a few planetaries these days. Most of them are Sakib suggestions. As fa as calling them cute I'm quite prepared to accept that as part of 21st century language.
