discovered by william herschel in 1787, this planetary nebula is approx 5000 light years away and is the remains of a star that exploded 10,000 years ago.

hello and welcome to my astronomy pages. sadly an image of the quality of this one will forever be beyond my reach with an earth-bound telescope and if you visit my gallery, you'll see a much more humble collection of images - but they're all mine and i'm proud of them!
