Abell 42 - another planetary nebula halo

Here's another object from the ongoing project to find planetary nebula halos. Abell 42 is already one of the faintest Abell planetary nebulae and of course the halo is even fainter. I wanted to get more data to flesh the image out a bit but the weather has been uncooperative lately to say the least.

Anyway here it is. Not what you would call spectacular.

Cheers

Steve
