Caption: The Headphone Nebula (aka Jones-Emberson 1 or PK 164+31.1) is a faint planetary nebula located some 1600 light years from Earth. Despite its brightness, during a night with perfect seeing it was possible to capture this beautiful nebula together with the central white dwarf (bluish central star) and several background galaxies! This image have been composed from a H alpha, V, and B filter.
