Wray 17-31 in Vela

Cropped from the full frame and displayed at 75% of full resolution

At just 2 arc min across and with a visual magnitude of 15, very few images exist of this beautiful
planetary nebula located in the southern constellation of Vela. Approximately 16,000 years old
this nebula has a very blue 18th magnitude white dwarf star at its centre.
