Planetary Nebula NGC 6563

The planetary nebula NGC 6563 resides in a crowded starry region of the sky. In natural sky conditions many of these stars remain invisible due to the blurring effect of the Earth�s atmosphere. When the AOF supplies its superb correction a myriad fainter stars become visible, together with a sharper view of the dusty parts of the nebula itself.
