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.
