Image Description and Details: This first colour image of the probable planetary nebula StDr33 (PNG 201.6+03.9) shows a bright ring-shaped structure surrounding a whitish central star.
The central star is probably a close binary system in which two stars orbit each other. This is likely also the reason why the central star does not have the typical blue colour, as the spectral colours of both stars mix to a white-yellow. A total of 99 hours 25 minutes total integration (HaOIIIRGB)

Equipment Details: Twin APM TMB LZOS 152 refractors, Celestron EdgeHD 14"
10Micron GM2000 HPS mount, 10Microm GM3000 HPS mount
Twin QSI6120 CCD cameras, ZWO ASI6200MM Pro camera
