Description

Another planetary nebula. Very similar to <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/geckzilla/9667741870">NGC 6826</a> but it's interesting to compare the subtle differences. Why are they so similar? Why are some parts not similar? Are they <a href="http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2013/37" rel="nofollow">aligned for some reason</a>?

Processing notes: Most of the nebula was on three filters but the edges were cut off around the outer part of the fainter spheroid. Something like <a href="File:NGC_3242_-HST-_R658G656B502.png" rel="nofollow">this</a> but I used a different set for the WFPC2-PC squares. There's more than one way to process a nebula...

North is up.
