| Planetary Nebula NGC 6781 |
NGC 6781 is a planetary nebula, representing a dying star that has shed its outer layers, similar to the Ring Nebula,
Dumbbell Nebula, and Helix Nebula, but more distant. This nebula resides in the summer constellation Aquila the
eagle.
This image combined 90 minutes of red, 30 minutes green and 42 minutes of blue exposures, all unbinned. An
ST10XME camera was used through a Meade 12" LX200R and an AP reducer at my observatory.
