About this image

SH1-89 (also PN G089.-00.6, PK 89-00.1, ARO 35) aka The Moth Nebula.

I managed to get a total of 18 hours of data using 3nm Ha and Oiii data, adding an additional 3hrs RGB data for the stars.

This is a small planetary nebula (35 arcsec) about 6,400 light years distance in Cygnus.
