Awarded Astronomical Photo of the Day 22 September 2021 by APODGrAG apod.grag.org/2021/09/22/pm1-320/
PM1-320 is a small planetary nebula in Cygnus, close to DWB 111, the Propeller Nebula.
It was discovered by Andrea Preite-Martinez in the 1980s.
I believe this to be the first deep high-resolution image of PM1-320.
The outer parts of the nebulosity are very faint, hence 56 hours of OIII integration.
HASH records it's size as 60 arc seconds.
