Description

This nebula is named after Jacoby and Fulton who, along with others, were rewarded with the <a href="http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?1997AJ....114.2611J&db_key=AST&nosetcookie=1" rel="nofollow">discovery</a> of this tiny planetary nebula buried in the haze of stars known as the loose globular cluster <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palomar_6" rel="nofollow">Palomar 6</a>. Finding the few existing planetary nebulas in globular clusters is something like the astronomer's ultimate game of Where's Waldo. Congratulations, guys. Anyway, this curious blob (or perhaps the name itself: "What's a JaFu??") managed to catch my attention in the archive so I went ahead and processed it.

Obviously, wideband filters barely reveal the little feller at all. The nebula is mainly visible in the F656N (H-alpha) & F502N (OIII) data. I toned the wideband data down quite a bit to tame the various bright stars.

North is up.
