About this image

Kronberger 9 is another beautiful, but rarely-imaged likely planetary nebula - this time discovered by Austrian amateur astronomer Matthias Kronberger in 2005.
Embedded in a field of heavy Ha nebulosity it's difficult to separate the PN from the background. The intricate Ha structures contrast with the relatively featureless OIII nebulosity - which questions how much of the intricate structures really are attributable to the PN. However, such structures are only found in the location of the PN, and have a stronger signal than the rest of the field of view - which supports the possibility that they are within the PN itself. A clearly-identifiable small blue CSPN is located centrally within the PN.
Images were captured from my remote robotic dual-rig setup in Spain.
