Heinze 2-105
PK 308 -12.1


Combination of 2, 3 minute exposures, Meade 416XTE CCD.
300mm f/6 newtonian at prime focus.

Henize 2-105 is a fairly large and bright planetary nebula in the far southern constellation, Apus. It was visible in a 12" telescope providing an OIII filter was used. This was necessary due to the close proximity of several relatively bright stars. With the OIII filter it appeared as a faint circular disk.
