K 1-6
Kohoutek 1-6 (K 1-6) is an evolved low-surface brightness planetary nebula in the constellation Draco. It is an asymmetric planetary nebula with a binary central star. It has an approximate size of 198 arc seconds and is around 3,000 light years from Earth.
It was discovered by Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek in 1962. It has a bow-shock structure which is attributed to interaction with the interstellar medium (ISM).
I could only find one other image of this online - captured by the Capella Observatory in 2019.
