Abell72 in OIII+LRGB - a photo on Flickriver

Abell 72, a faint planetary nebula in the constellation Delphinus, is captured here alongside the distant galaxy PGC 65491, which was a challenge to bring out in the final image. The intricate nebula is complemented by the faint light of this spiral galaxy, both revealing delicate details that took careful processing to highlight. The Oxygen-III data enhances the nebula’s structure, while the LRGB filters bring out the vibrant colors of the stars and the nebula's subtle hues.
