A New Planetary Nebula

Discoverer: Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner, Dana Patchick
Location: Ursa Major obs. @ ROSA (remote observatory southern alps)

DESCRIPTION
PaStDr5 is a probable new planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra, in the center of the large Lyra-HII region.
Discovered by Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner and Dana Patchick and impressively photographed by Markus Blauensteiner.
The nebula shows a very prominent blue OIII bubble, surrounded by H-alpha filaments and resembling a pearl.

The potential central white dwarf (mag 16.8) has very good properties and is most likely the source of the ionization of the structure.

Coordinates: 18:45:41.337 +33:56:4.54 (J2000)
Constellation : Lyra
Diameter: 9 arc minutes
