Latest discoveries
In the context of a citizen science project we discovered planetary nebulae (PNe) as well as Herbig-Haro Objects (HHO). Click here for the discoveries:
Planetary Nebula (PN) Br 6 or PNG 088.2-00.8 - discovery image with ZWO ASI220MM and Celestron C11 EHD F/11
Bresseler 6, Br 6 or PNG 088.2-00.8, is a new and young planetary nebula in the constellation cygnus. You can find the PN at the position: 21:08:31.30 +46:28:49.70. The brightness is about 15 mag visually, i.e. the PN should be visible in telescopes
around 12 - 14" in combination with an [OIII] filter. Br 6 can of course also be captured photographically, which should be possible with telescopes from 6 - 8". Br 6 has a size of approx. 10 arc seconds.

Discovery of a bipolar Nebula, a Herbig-Haro object (HHO)
The bipolar nebula is located in the constellation Cygnus (swan) at position 20:53:25.29 +51:08:18.5. The bipolar nebula covers emission lines typical of Herbig-Haro objects (HHOs) and has a size of about 30 arc seconds. This makes the HHO an interesting observation target for amateur telescopes.
