Abell 36, planetary nebula.

Hi,

This was imaged the same night as my recent Abell 33 image, 36 is a much tougher DSO to process.
Digging it out of the background took 5 attempts.

Abell 36 is Magnitude 13.0 and a angular diameter of 293 arc seconds. It's not as spectacular as 33.

Here's some more info.

Cheers,

Justin.
