This image was taken by Gilles Cohen in France in an urban highly light polluted setting. PK 164 is a very faint planetary nebula that shows up somewhat in H-alpha.

This image was taken with a 155EDF refractor at F5.4 and Baader 7nm H-a filter. Exposure length 14 x 15 minutes. Camera type QSI583 WSG, guided with Atik 314L on 900 mount.

Rolando,

This one is better known as "Jones-Emberson 1" and it is especially impressive in colour. Hopefully Gilles will RBG data to it.

Impressive result!

Anthony.

Nice! The structure sure is interesting. And, thank goodness for hydrogen-alpha. It saves a lot of people from the effects of light pollution.
Cheers,
Tyler
