Description:
Taken from home observatory, this beautiful but faint planetary nebula, Sh2-200, was discovered in 1983 by the astronomers Herbert Hartl, Johann Dengel and Ronald Weinberger. In 1987, further narrowband observations detected a large faint outer halo extending further than the central shell. However, it wasn't confirmed to be a true genuine planetary nebula until 2017.
