Doc Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have just read an interesting article on CN about an uncatalogued planetary nebula near the star Aldeberan in Taurus. It might be a challenge but I'm sure an imager would have a chance to capture it. Have a read: http://www.cloudynights.com/topic/483598-new-pn-in-glare-of-aldebaran/ Might be a challenge for someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Interesting-tough one to get any detail with aldebaran so close. Edited January 14, 2015 by catman161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 That's an interesting one. As per the thread, a spectroscopy and or filters may provide a better idea if it is a planetary or a galaxy, but that would also be really tough at 9 arc minutes from Aldebaran. catman161 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
