Ancient Planetary Nebula - Dengel-Hartl 5

[Martin Pugh]

Hi folks
Discovered in 1979, this PN is located in Cepheus and is most certainly faint.
Its a bi-colour image consisting of 25 hours exposure (13 Ha, and 12 OIII).

Well that would be one of the oddest planetaries I've seen Martin. An immaculate image as usual.
