About this image

Abell 12 is in Orion very close to mu Orionis. I had my Canon 60Da in place on the C11 with focal reduction to F/6, so I was interested in how it looked at this scale (FL = 1680mm). It looks like a ghost image !

The Planetary has a diameter of 37 arcsec and magnitude 13.9 (SkyMapPro)
