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)
