Kronberger 50 #Explored

Hampshire Astronomical Group Picture of the Month March 2020.

Published in Astronomy Now Magazine April 2020.

 

Kronberger 50 is a very faint filamentary circular planetary nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It is without any doubt the faintest target that I have ever attempted. I can find no examples of it on Astrobin, nor on a Google search, so I believe that this is the first time that it has been imaged in colour.
