Abell 80
Abell 80 - a large faint planetary nebula in Lacerta. Like all Abell planetaries, it has a very low surface brightness. It appears to be bipolar, viewed almost edge-on. It was first discovered around 1950 on photographic plates taken on the 48" Schmidt telescope at Mount Palomar. The OIII signal is much fainter than the Ha signal, and with little structure.
