NGC 4361


Combination of 15, 120 second images. Modified Canon Digital Rebel DSLR camera.
5" f/5 refractor at prime focus.

NGC 4361 is a very nice planetary nebula in Corvus. It is visible in a small telescope and in an 8" telescope appears as a pale disc, slightly darker in the centre. The central star is faint but is visible in a 12" telescope.
