Image Description and Details :
Dear friends, we are pleased to present you our latest discovery!
PaRasMoMi-1 stands for: "Dana Patchick-Sakib Rasool-Sankalp Mohan-Utkarsh Mishra".
It was Discovered by all four of us in april 2021 and we tried to guess what this object could be using the data that was available online, no doubt this new discovery needs some good scientific study
PaRasMoMi-1 lies in the constellation Monoceros and is 5942 ly (light-years) away from earth.
It is near the Rosette nebula/NGC 2237 and is officially designated at Hong Kong/AAO/Strasbourg H-alpha planetary nebula database. Comprehensive database of all known planetary nebulae.
PaRasMoMi-1 is Potential Planetary Nebula candidate which officially designated at Planetary Nebula net and at HASH Portal. by Dr. Quentin Andrew Parker
and designated By Pascal Le Dû on Planetary Nebula dot net.
The size of this nebula is very big and that is around 26 arcmins
*(Almost same size of moon in terms of apparent size)*
We want to thank our friend Patrick Dufour who photographed this nebula for around 20hrs from his remote observatory in Chile. He used a 12" AG Optical RC Telescope and QHY 600 Mono CMOS camera with SHOLRGB filter to capture the region. Since the object was only visible in OIII we asked him to capture as much OIII as possible and Patrick did a great job by collecting the data quickly - as the object was close to the horizon.
Patrick supplied us with the data and I started examining it and created a few Continuum free images of OIII and H-alpha to really bring out the structure details.
Sakib and Dana i look forward to learn more from you
