Photo description / processing

During processing, I noticed a small, unidentified object at the edge of the frame (top right). As it turned out, this bean-shaped feature is the planetary nebula WeBo 1, presented as a close binary star system, discovered in 1995 by Ronald Webbink and Howard Bond. At its center is now an orange giant that once absorbed material from its companion and turned it into a white dwarf. An unexpected surprise.

Did we overstretch the red channel?

I don't think so, what made you decide that.

Well, this is all hydrogen, or should it have been pushed into the darkness, then the LDN nebulae at the periphery wouldn't be visible.
