Abell 80
Abell 80 - a large faint planetary nebula in Lacerta. Like all Abell planetaries, it has a very low surface brightness. It appears to be bipolar, viewed almost edge-on. It was first discovered around 1950 on photographic plates taken on the 48" Schmidt telescope at Mount Palomar. The OIII signal is much fainter than the Ha signal, and with little structure.
Abell 80 has an overall size of 169 arc seconds.
Image captured on my remote dual rig at Fregenal de la Sierra in Spain between 16 September and 11 October 2021.
Scopes: APM TMB LZOS 152 Refractors
Cameras: QSI6120wsg8
Mount: 10Micron GM2000 HPS
A total of 42 hours image capture (HaOIIILRGB)
