About this image

Alv 3 is an obscure irregular probable planetary nebula in the constellation Taurus, discovered by Portuguese astronomer Filipe Alves in 2011. I believe that this is the first amateur photograph of this target. As a result of this image Alv 3 is now registered on HASH as a likely planetary nebula.
