About this image

Abell 5 - a small faint rarely-imaged and strangely-structured planetary nebula in the constellation Perseus. It has a size of 136 arc seconds.
The OIII signal was extremely faint, and similar to the Ha signal - so was discarded.
Image captured on my remote dual rig at Fregenal de la Sierra in Spain between 27 February and 19 March 2022.
A total of 11 hours 20 minutes image capture (HaRGB)
