IC 1297 - Planetary Nebula in Corona Australis

Below the horizon.  Never rises today
Alt: -55.31°   Az: 88.97°   Direction: East

IC 1297 is a Planetary Nebula in the Corona Australis constellation. IC 1297 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 10.7, IC 1297 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 6 inches (150mm) or more.

The image below is a photograph of IC 1297 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel. The area of sky represented in the image is 0.5000x0.5000 degrees (30.00x30.00 arcmins).
