NGC 3195

NGC3195 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Chamaeleon. It is the most southern of all the bright sizable planetary nebula in the sky. Discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1835, this 11.6 apparent magnitude planetary nebula is slightly oval in shape, with dimensions of 40×35 arc seconds. The distance is about 5500 light years from the Earth. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have imaged this at 3000mm focal length because the seeing conditions were poor on the night.
