Description
English: Bipolar Planetary Nebula KjPn8 (PN G112.5-00.1)


This image was taken with the KPNO Mayall 4-meter telescope on November 5, 2010. Located in the constellation of Cassiopeia, KjPn8 (also known as PN G112.5-00.1) is a very unusual bipolar planetary nebula. Its complex structure is the result of irregular ejections of gas in different directions. It was observed in the narrowband filters of Oxygen [OIII] (blue) and Hydrogen-Alpha (red). North is down, East is to the right.
