WeSb 2

Image Title: WeSb 2

Image Description and Details : WeSb 2 is a newly-confirmed planetary nebula in the constellation Auriga. It was discovered by Ronald Weinberger and Franco Sabbadin in 1981, but this is the first narrowband image, and first colour image, produced since its discovery. The nebula is approximately 3 arc minutes in size. It is very faint, which may explain why it hasn't been imaged before. The OIII signal was extremely faint.

As a result of this deep image WeSb 2 has been upgraded in the HASH database to be a true planetary nebula.

Image captured on my dual rig in Spain. This was a total of 51.2 hours data capture.
