MoMi 6 and Ou 6
When my Indian friends Sankalp Mohan and Utkarsh Mishra made the discovery in 2021 of a possible planetary nebula in Cygnus they asked me to take some deep imaging of the area to reveal the nature of the discovery. This discovery is very close to Ou 6, another planetary nebula discovered by French amateur Nicolas Outters in August 2013. This image was therefore centred on the mid-point between the two objects.
